Trying to trace Miss Helen Lilian Hall born approx 1912 in the Beckenham area of,Norwich / Norfolk
Her Mothers maiden was i think Chapman and her parents I think were Rosa lydia Hall and James John Hall. Helen had an address in Drayton ,Norwich in 1933 and worked as a telephone operator in 1932 (on childs birth certificate) that;s all I can find from the birth certificate and records that I can find on internet etc. does anyone have any idea of the family ??
Thanks Alison

Gosh, Thanks so much, I have found both Rosa Chapman and James Hall
on the marriage register for 1910 apr may june..both hand written on bottom. AMAZING...This seems too precise to be a mistake as we have Bryan Hall ( helen halls son)born in october 1932 in Beckenham R.D -Blofield which was/is the next registration district.
On Genes reunited site I have found details of Rosa Chapman born 1890 in Norwich but when I look at births on searches I can't find a Rosa L Chapman anywhere relating to Norwich. as then I can try to go from there..

Thanks so much again
Alison

Your best bet would be to buy Helens Birth cert, this would of course confirm her parents.

Have you looked for a marriage for Helen after 1932/33 ?

Had a quick look for a death for a Helen Lilian born in 1912 but can not find one that " fits " !

SHAME
There seems to be no more children from the Hall/Chapman marriage.

But if you purchase the 1911 census you may find some CHAPMAN children from/living with Rosa ??

Thanks for your help, we have ordered birth certificate and we are now going through all the marriages. My Father checked marriages up to 1945 the old way years ago, I have gone up to 1956 which makes her 44 so not hopefull of any more relations but will keep searching.

Many Thanks
