My mother Gwyneth Williams was born in Carter Street, Manchester on 17th September 1927. Her mother Emily was living at the time in Wellington Road, Manchester. Emily at the time of birth was a Foundry Clerk. Father is not on the Birth Cert. Can anyone help me, or advise me on how to trace Emily. |

Do you know what happened to Emily, or anything about her age or any other relatives? |

Do you happen to live near manchester? i would start by looking at the electoral register to see who else was living there at the time. |

Thank you for that, a midwife at that address is interesting as well as Edith Williams. Another thread to follow. Thank you very much. |

There are a few Wellington Roads in lancashire, but assuming it's the Chorlton one I can't find number 49! |

It looks to me like the carter St. address is just somewhere for unmarried mothers to give birth maybe? Wellington Road is more promising. You could ask staff to do a lookup for you (they might charge): |
