Hi Everyone, My name is Darren, I am the grandson of Elizabeth Rita Creigh( Richards ). ERC was adopted by Jane Isabelle in 1936, aged 13 years, 6 years after Alfred T B Richards died. Jane Isabelle was married to Ernest Ridsdale Coward only for a few years in Portsmouth Hampshire, He then went on to marry Lizzie Anetta Jones, He joined the Navy, and later reenlisted, so 2 times. Alfred Thomas Barrow(not Barron) Richrds was a ship Broker also in Portsmouth. ATBR and JIC did not have any children, but resided in Portsmouth with links to Gateshead Newcastle, ERC also has moved between Gateshead and Portsmouth. We believe that ATBR was the natural father. We have what we think is a birth certificate for Elizabeth Rita creigh........ Born 20/02/1923 Rita Rose Parker. mothers maiden name Parker, so unmarried, the address on the birth certificate shows she was born in a home for unmarried mothers in Edgbaston Birmingham, there the trail goes cold unfortunately!
I forgot to mention that ERC was taken in by Alfred and Jane Isabella whenshe was around 3-4 years old. Then lived in Portsmouth.
