We are trying to find out something about my mother in law. Apparently she was born 9.3.1914 in London Katherine Wilhelmina Clarke. We can't find her registered so can't send for b/c.
Katherine was with her mother at the age of 3 but she was later taken in by a family, the Cooke's. Her mum was a showgirl who died in the flu epidemic at the end of WW1. Katherine lived on a farm with foster family (Presumably the Cooke's) in Billericay Essex. She left here at the age of 14 to live with 2 older ladies. As a young adult she worked at Lyons Corner House in The Strand where she worked her way up to a position of some importance. She did marry and had 2 boys.
Now you know as much as we do!!!!
Where do we go from here? Can someone point us in the right direction.
Regards
Andrea Brownsdon
