HI, I'm looking for an Elizabeth Bernawiles (or similar) believed to have been born around 1917 in what was known as the Old Peoples Home in Pembroke. It might have been a poor house or similar institution. I have tried the Family Records Centre but can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea on what or where to try next? Colin Potter

Hello Colin When you say you have tried the Family Records centre - does that mean you have already looked at the GRO index of births (sometimes called St Catherine's Index)? That is the source from which you would have the best chance of finding a lead. Even if the name differs from Bernawiles it sounds as if it would still be a fairly unusual name - so if you looked at all the B births for a period such as 1915 - 1920 - you should find it . That is unless the date of birth you are assuming is wrong - can you tell us the source of the date of birth? Or any other clues?
