That's great! Thank you so much everyone for solving this mystery for me - greatly appreciated :-)

Original for 1901 for Florrie Day does give age as 1 mth. so birth that safc found is probably her!

Hmm, tricky... not sure about that one but I reckon it's them... could she have changed her mind about a middle name and had her christened with a middle name later on?

Catherine

Catherine Report 22 Aug 2012 14:24

Birth could have been registered under just Edith:-

Births Jun 1899 (>99%)
Day Edith Staines 3a 1

................but she was then christened Edith Florence?

So the mystery of Ivy Hussey is solved... thank you all!
Would it be an appropriate assumption that Edith Florence is the illegitimate daughter of Henry's sister Edith F Day c1877 born Bedfont, Staines, Middlesex?

Sorry Catherine - hadn't refreshed in time!
Thank you so much, as their is a baptism for Edith Florence Day in Staines Union House as safc found, I think it may be them!

Thank you Catherine and safc
It is possibly she is Edith's daughter as her name is also Edith Florence...

When it says 'Staines Union House' would that mean she was born in the workhouse?

Births Jun 1900 (>99%)
Day Edith Florence King's N. 6c 487
The district King's N. is an alternative name for Kings Norton and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire

..............birth cert. would confirm who parents are but this is the only one I can see with correct name!

Thank you Catherine, would the baptisms normally only have the mother's name, or is that a sign that she was born out of wedlock?
