Hi, I have just obtained my mum's birth certificate (she was adopted and this is the one relating to her biological mother). Under mother's name it states the name and then in brackets says (Home Duties) followed by the address. Does anyone know what the (Home Duties) means? The year of birth was 1946 so we are wondering if it has anything to do with the war? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Katy
