Do you mean she was living at Milton Road at the time of her daughter's birth?

If her daughter was illegitimate, then it will be very difficult to find the right Nellie Adams as she could have been born anywhere. At that time girls were often disowned by their parents for getting pregnant and moved away from where they were brought up to have the child. My own grandmother was in the same situation in 1911.

There are 99 Nellie Adams on the 1901 census born between 1886 and 1896, which I guess would be about when she was born.

You can do address searches on 1901 - I can't do them on Ancestry or I would but it might be worth your while putting up a fresh request for an address look up for that address - it's a bit of a longshot but at least you would know. (Please also add Nellie's name - and ask for the reference numbers. It will be useful then for you/someone to be able to scroll backwards and forwards a few pages in case the house numbers changed.)

Please Help if you can.

I don't think you will find a website that will give you information about who is at an address in 1913. The only thing you could do is check with Portsmouth library about the electoral registers for this address but in 1913 there weren't that many people eligible to vote and certainly not women at that time.

Yes: the full names of Nellie Adams Child was Eileen Madge.
This Information leads me to believe that a big headache is about to be take shape.

Hi Friends: I am back again to ask you for help in the tracking of Nellie Adams.
This is proving a hard case to crack as I have no place of Birth But I have now discoverd that Nellie was born in 1893, & had a twin Sister Daisy, she was Possibly born in Wickford Essex but this is not clear yet??
After trawling through a lot of census and estimating her age at giving Birth to her Daughter Eileen Madge in 1913 as 16-21
yrs of age 1t puts her D.O.B as 1893.
She was residing at 265 Milton Road, Portsmouth at time of Registering her Daughters Birth (Have Certificate) and worked as a Domestic in 2 Kings Street, Portsea at the time, this turns out to be a Workhouse(Milton Road) that she entered in 23/1/1913, then went into Hospital to give birth & was re-admitted. on 24/5/1913.
can anybody please help in tracking her Family for me>
Kind Regards. Peter
She gave her Daughter away and no Father was Registered.
I also do not know of any Middle names for Nellie
as the Birth Certificate only says Nellie Adams.
If anybody can spread some Light on this or find some snipit of Information Please forward the Info
to me. many Thanks for trying and good Luck.
Peter.
