Have you been in contact with Kenneth who has Kathleen born 1910 lewisham.

He looks to be the Grandson of Ada Florence Wood nee Gray.

Assuming she was actually born in London, as we are led to believe, all the Cathleens 1909-10 are accounted for, either with mms not Gray, or found in 1911 census.

This one's illegitimate, but is with her grandparents (and presumably her mother) in 1911 - posting for elimination purposes:

I checked the Kates in St Giles while checking the Cathleens.

There are dozens of Kates in other parts of London - haven't checked all those!
No Grays.

No "female"s in St Giles in the right time span.
Dozens in other parts of London, but no Grays.

If only she'd been born in 1911, it would be so much easier to spot illegitimate births!

Yes, I know, Sylvia.

I just meant that you have to enter the surnames one by one to check the mms - a laborious process when checking dozens of births - whereas if she had been born from 3rd qr onwards in 1911 , all the mms would show up at once.
