Hi Sirius

Could be. Problem is there is no Ava Horton shown on the 1911 Census, but many Hortons. There is a story from my late brothers wife that her father was a Norwegian Sea captain who brought her to England at an early age. Horton may not be her true maiden name - hence I am having great difficult tracing. Am hoping for someone tracing a family around 1907 - 1920 that might have 'adopted' her, or she may have been in an institution.
Have been trying since 2006 to find her birth place!!!

Thank you for quick replies. Your information is correct. Ava Horton is the maiden name of my mother. I am trying to find out where she was born on 26 December 1904 or 1906. The marriage certificate shows no father. I do not have any living relatives who know any info. She was working in a confectionery shop in Margate, Kent in 1932 when she married my father.

This looks to be the death of above Ava:-

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007 about Ava Tobin

Birth Date: abt 1907
Date of Registration: Sep 1961
Age at Death: 54
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5b
Page: 766

........which gives her date of birth as c.1907



................just in case this is correct, then this would be relevant to husband:-

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007 about Harry William H P Tobin
