I am searching for info about Mildred Brooke who was born in 1905 in Chesterfield,Derbyshire
Her mother was Ethel Brooke.
Mildred is on the 1911 cencus living with her grandparents Arthur and Matilda Brooke in Apperknowle,Derbyshire.
Ethel had a sister Gertrude,brother Wilton, so I would love to know if anyone has any knowledge of Mildred or her her aunt Gertrude or uncle Wilton please .

Presumably Wilton birth reg

Births Sep 1898

Births Mar 1905

Samuel Holmes
or

Is there any evidence to suggest that Mildred was the illegitimate daughter of Ethel sister of Wilton???? I suspect that is the case.....would explain the absemce of ethel on the 1911......and Mildred is listed as Mildred Brooke...........
