Dorothy Report 31 Oct 2017 22:53

my grandmother born 1892 Mntgomery. gave birth to Thomas Edward 1910. He lived with her parents. About 1916 she had a girl Dorothy (father unknown).
She later married Thomas Pickavance in Oswestry, Shropshire. Then mved to Wigan where she later gave birth to my mother Doris Mary 1920
Her husband later left and mum was placed in a home in Fazackerley nr Liverpool.
I thought l had all this down as far as l knew. But, l have just had a message from someone in Canada who says her dad Norman Oakley is my mums brother.
Plus there is also a Harriet Oakley.
Norman was raised in a home until he was a teenager. He was then moved to Canada to work on a farm. Can anyone help me untangle this mess.
I asked mums cousin if her mum had mentioned anything. I was told no. Her mum Agnes Annie, sister to Emily May had also had a child, a son who was also raised by grandparents. He died aged 21. Any help untangling this mess would be very appreciated
