Its really best to start a new thread for an unrelated enquiry rather than attach it to an already completed one

Your request stands the chance of not attracting any replies..

does she know which Orphanage . If it was Barnados she can apply for her file . this may give more clues about her mum.

Im looing for my nans mother my nan was born on 17th july 1922 at 4 The Common Edge Market Drayton Counties of Salop and Staffordshire. On her birth certificate is says her mother also called Annie Allman which by the way is my nans name on the birth certificate it lists her mother as a General Domestic Servant of 105 Knighton Bloze or Blize Road that is all the info we have as my nan was put in an orphanage at a young age she remembers nothing of her mother and her fathers name is not on her birth certifiate any help would be gratefully received thankyou Pauline.
