Looking for Ellen Barrett who gave birth to Dorothy Barrett in Islington Infirmary, London on May 28, 1912. She gives her age as 36 and her address as 17 Alma Road. She says she is single. She was admitted on May 23, 1912 and it says by "Hunt". She gave up Dorothy Barrett for adoption.

I cannot see a single Ellen Barrett living in Islington in 1911.
She is not showing at that address in 1911, either.
Is there any occupation for her?
Thanks

She may not have come from Islington. My grandmother came from Lincolnshire but she was disowned by her family when she became pregnant in 1911 when she was single. She ended up going south and giving birth in Farnham Workhouse and gave her address as the Inn where she worked (although she had been living at the workhouse for at least 2 months before giving birth as she was recorded there in the 1911 census).
