Mary Cross nee Donoghue Trying to find birth family
Hi,
I wonder if there is anyone who can help me please.
I am trying to help a lady who is trying to find out about her family
This lady has very little to go on, so I hope one of you kind people will be able to help out.
Her name is Mary Cross (NEE donoghue), this is how she related her story to me .
"I was evacuated to Norfolk in 1941. I took my mums name which was Donoghue my mums name was Kathleen Donoghue,
mum had a sister Margaret, they lived at 22 Pennant Mews in Kensington in 1941. Margaret was married to a Jack Smith I dont know how old Margaret was.
My mum was 23 when I was born on 7 May 1941"
St Mary's Abbots Kensington, [I don't know if Mary meant that this was a hospital where she was born, or if it was a district! ] They were Irish Catholics"
"My mum moved to Edgbaston Birmingham in 1943, she was on the electoral roll in 1947-48.
Mary Cross is quite desperate to find out about her family, she would like to know if her mother married and had children, where she went to live, and where did the family come from!!
Mary then went on to say that she was fostered by a Mr and Mrs Chenery 28 Shopham Road Great Hockam Norfolk.
I am not a paid researcher, just someone who is trying to help a person in need of finding something solid to build on.
Thank you for reading this, and I do hope that there is someone who can help fulfil this lady's dream.
I just hope that I have heard right and made the correct spellings of names and places.
Ps, I have her permission to put this info out.
Further info since the above was written.
Kathleen was 40 weeks pregnant when she went into labour, she was working as a waitress at 17 Harrington Gardens, she was taken from there to St Mary Abbots (or St Andrews Bow Kensington) to have the baby. there is also another address connected with Kathleen, that is 11 Arundell Gardens West 11, it is not known if that is another place that she worked, or lived, she also worked in munitions.
It seems that Kathleen was born in 1919 poss in Ireland, it is known that the family were Irish but at this time it is not known if Kathleen was also born there. They were Irish Catholics.
