PM sent to Patricia to let her know that GR won't notify her of replies, and that she has to keep checking - also how to reply on the thread.

Absolutely.

Anything we do without all the details is assumption and guesswork.

We need Patricia to come back with more info, if she has any.

How does she know that Kate was in Lower Sydenham in 1900 specifically?
A letter? A birth or marriage cert?

Guessing.

Lower Sydenham is the right area for Croydon registrations. Croydon covers what would seem very odd places.

There doesn’t seem to any other suitable births for someone alive in 1900 and possibly.be grandmother to the OP.

Assuming of course, that Ashdown is her maiden name.

Why do you think that, Names?

Kate was probably born in 1896 according to Freebmd with birth registered in the Croydon district.

‘Find’ in what way?

Was Ashdown her maiden name? Was Kate her given name?

When and where was she born?

What have you done yourself in the way of research - lots of free sites available

Welcome to the boards.

Where have you been looking? When was she born?

Use freebmd to find her birth, marriage and possible death.

Check the census 1901, 1911 & 1921 ( only on FMP). Check the 1939 register.
