hi thanks for your help it appears i even had the wrong date of birth. As you can see from the other replies we now have her d.o.b. as 26/09/1926. she always said she was from Oz. As far as I know she didn't have siblings, (but what do I know) my father is deceased never met any grandparents on either side had one aunt on my fathers side who never bothered with my mother. It looks like we have hit a blank but thanks a lot for all your hard work. Paula

Thanks I was told 1933 but if the records show 1926 it's a step nearer thanks for all your help.

sorry i didnt read your posting properly I was always told she came from Oz somewhere near Sidney. As far as I know she was an only child but to be fair the more postings I get back the less I know. thanks for all your help.

Hi Paula I have search birth indexes for 1930-1933,with no luck with all the different names you mentioned.
I have also checked Western Austraila for births as I live here again with no luck.
Is your fathers name Jones

Do you her birth name?

Heather

Heather Report 1 Sep 2008 11:24

So is a father named on your birth cert - Mr Jones that is?

Why do you believe she was from Australia? Did she have any siblings?

Can anybody help Im trying to find my mothers family. Her name on my birth cert was Cheryle Plattern living in Hackney London when I was born 18/08/1956 She was born 26th Sept 1931-1933ish. She died in skegness 24th March 1971 and was buried under the name Cheryle Jones (although she never married my father) I also recall she used the name Silk/Silke. I think i have a half brother called Michael Silk/Silke as I once overheard a conversation between my parents. I can't seem to find any trace of her, I always believed that she was from Austrailia but she was so secretive I'm really not sure of anything any more, the more I look the less I find. Any help would be much appreciated. Paula
