having the same prob Perhaps you could try the local library and see if they have an electoral roll for the time. Not sure if there would be though. If there is, it might give names of birth mothers family living there, making it easier to narrow down your search. I think the next step is to try birth, marriages and deaths and the electoral rolls for now. Good luck lorraine
