Does anyone know where the best place to find records of travellers, birth marriages and deaths is please ?

[Davewhitehouse]

Im trying to find a * who was resident at croft farm, park road,bedworth in 1946 she was approx * at the time, there is a high chance she was a traveller and I cant find anything, she had three sister and one brother who was in the royal marines ??

Any help super appreciated

* personal details removed in case this person is still alive. Please remember that Rootschat is not a forum for tracing living people

Well I still cant find anything suz

I am still looking - but it is difficult without a definate year of birth - if there are any middle names

I have found 3 people b in Warwicks with the name you are seeking (can't post name as we are not sure she is deceased ) some have middle names -but it is difficult without   more information.
I know you gave the address as Croft Farm Park Rd Bedworth - but did she live there - or if she was a traveller was she just staying there for a while ?? Maybe lliving in a caravan ??

It is only a family rumour that she was a traveller - family aren't always correct - little bits get added and taken away over time

Have you tried to get your mother's adoption records ?? Thay may give more information

I do keep having another attempt as this kind of family history is of big interest to me

Also remember it was wartime and there are lots of cases  which are similar.
Do you know the names of her siblings??
If so could you PM them in case they are still living - the one who was in the marines - did he survive the war?? Where did you have this information from

I think you are just going to flounder unless more information can be found

I so want to help you

Are you certain the address you have is correct - I have just looked at Park Rd Bedworth and it seems to be terraced houses - can't find any information on Crofts Farm??

Suz

[Davewhitehouse]

Thats what it says on the original birth certificate and the only info I have is from the court adoption paper and from letters from the adoption service

[Davewhitehouse]

I cant see a crofts farm and have tried to find maps of around 1946 to see but cant find one of them either, I can send you a pic of the birth cert if you want ?

[suzard]

that's OK - If it wasn't Crofts Farm it may have been Cross farm - but can't find either
Where did you obtain info on the siblings??
