Thread: birth mum

Hi, I am looking on behalf of my mother for her birth mother,we managed to get quite alot of info and then came to a brick wall. My mum was born on 2/4/1938 in London,her name Catherine(now Marian) Kelly on original birth certificate (we have a copy).Her mother's name is Elizabeth Ann Kelly and a strange thing was on my mum's baptism certificate ,her name was Marian then crossed out and Catherine was put in.Her mum still had her as she is on that certificate.A family member was godmother,her name was Baccarine ?Kelly.Elizabeth Ann worked as a domestic help to a Louis Falk at the time who lived at 47 Cranfield rd, Hampstead,London.My mum actually found his sister and spoke on the phone about 10 yrs ago.She was kind of helpful at first then said my mum could phone back later that week when the woman had found out anything.When my mum rang back,the sister was very abrupt and didn't want anything to do with it,I now wonder if she found out something to do with Louis Falk. Our main problem is we can't seem to get my Elizabeth Ann kelly's DOB, and cannot get any furthur without it,we have looked into Irish background too.Sorry it is a long post,very grateful for any input.

Sorry have just been corrected by my mum.Her own name is Marian on birth certificate not catherine,and on baptism certificate it said Catherine then was crossed out and Marian was put.Thanks Clare
