Do you know what happened to Margaret Whittle? Did she die when Harold was a child or did he carry on having contact with her?

Hi Darren, what info do you have that makes you sure about his mother? (Not doubting it - just trying to get a clear picture).

EDIT - Oops - it must be from the birth certificate. Was there any info for father?

Darren

Darren Report 18 Sep 2011 16:08

Hi ginny thanks for reply,
yes he did marry and had 4 children one being my mum i have traced my nans side of the family ashton's and Greaves very well could be a clue i have no idea I do have his Birth/Death cert but for the whittle's i draw a blank

Darren Report 18 Sep 2011 16:02

Thanks for your prompt response Jonesey . what you said could be a possibility, but I know for sure that his mother was Margaret Whittle. What I am unsure about is why Elizabeth Ashley brought him up and was she related to his mother. I know Elizabeth lived in Liverpool all her life and he was born in Bebington. I have his birth certificate. no father name.

Do you know if he married? This is his death I wonder if there are any clues on the certificate

Any idea why an unmarried dressmaker living at home with her parents would bring him up? Could it possibly be that she was actually his mother using a different name at the time of his birth?
