(She was only 15 when she had mum! Quite shocking no doubt back then. I can't locate her side of the family at all, as she was born in 1917 and of course there's no census to check back on :o( Her name was Louisa V M Thompson (later George) - any clues again? Many thanks and best wishes - Mark Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
