Pippa you're fast just been trawling through ancestry like you said :) I'm pretty sure she was born 1922, but I also checked 1921 to be sure. There is only one May in the apr/may/june quarter for 1922 so thats looking like a likely candidate, but it going to be hard to know one way or the other as we've have no idea of her origins at all :/ Forgot to add i found a total of 5 May Anderson in those 2 years. |

It looked like 8 a, e or c. Is there anyone else that can read it? |

Did she have a middle name as I might have found it in Chorlton? |

It is unlikely that you will find anything opn free bmd for this period as they are transcribing a lot of the older records. I would trawl the indexes currently free to view on ancestry. It is listed as the beta index and check through each quarter. |

Hi guys I'm hoping you can help me out on this small problem :) My dad John Anderson was born to a May Anderson out of wedlock, she later then married a Reginald Procter and they had three children of their own. All four were later put into care and other than a few visits from their mother they then lost contact. I managed to find the marriage record and from that ordered the marriage certificate, hoping that May's father would be listed on it, unfortunately he wasn't :( the only information we got from it was confirmation of her age and Reginald's father. I've got absolutely no idea how I can find out about May's parents and I can't find a birth record on freeBMD. Here's hoping you can help :) the details are :- John Anderson born EPSOM, Surrey 22/04/1940 son of May Anderson married Reginald Procter on 06/02/1943 Epson, Surrey. May was 22 at the time of her marriage and we believe she was born in May. Any ideas? Keith |
