hi gwyn thanks for ur offer of help i have no idea what happened to either Harriet Padmore or her son william b sept 1870 after his birth i have his certificate and then i can not find then on either the 1871 or the 1881 census. However William married in 1889 and his mum Harriet was at the wedding and signed the certificate as a single womasn still and then after the 1891 census she was lost again. its all very weird to follow but if you do find anything i would be grateful to hear. Thanks again Lynette Jones

You could try and find out where the Parish/Poor relief records are held for that area and see if the mother ever made a request for assitance. These records can sometimes be a wealth or information - mothers name, dob, parents names, address's ect. Or find the records for the workhouse and see if they mention any further information about mother and son - Entry date, leaving date ect. Mhairi

Do you know where they were in 1871? If you post some details, maybe we can find them, if that would help. I have seen records of workhouses where a next of kin or family member( outside of workhouse ) has been named. Workhouse records admission books should also detail the length of their stay there.
