A great uncle was a proverbial "baby found in a basket on the front porch". As soon as I heard that I almost laughed knowing the household had a lot of girls. I don't think he ever knew his parents were really his grandparents and a sister was his mom. My maternal 2nd great grandfather was out of wedlock and his father had his own issues what with the talk of the town[s] being that he was Lord Nelson and "that Hamilton woman"'s love child. Any family claiming no illegitimate children must not have done any research. Anyway. I see that Louisa V W Thompson was born Jun 1917, Forehoe, Norfolk. Her mother's maiden name was listed as Warren. And of course Louisa married Edward in Mar 1936, Blofield, Norfolk. Having been born about 1902, what was the mother's first name? Or have I drifted into another line? Go to freebmd.rootsweb.com and you can spend hours looking up relatives. They also give the Volume and page number so you can send for the records. My Spencer, Pidcock, Wilson, etc., came from Notts. Now I found Ronald Gordon Tidman married Elsie A Wright in 1941, reg. 4th quarter, Acle, Norfolk. Then Else married Leonard S G Rump in 1944, reg. 1st quarter, Acle. Are these yours? Molly Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
