Would be grateful for any help finding the birth of Irene Gladys Poole born c1925 Rotherhithe, London.

All her older siblings were registered in St Olave district. The eldest sibling was born 1902. The youngest sibling I could find was 1918, so I am surprised at the 1925 estimate but that is what I have been told by family.

Any help is much appreciated.

Yes sorry mum's maiden name was New.

Sophie thanks for that. I ruled out the Lambeth birth as she had another child registered Mar 1906.

I am wondering if she was only known as Irene Gladys but christened something else.

Her sister called Doll was actually Florence Ivy!

Thanks,
Selena

Thanks Mhaire, yes Thomas Henry is mine.

Apparently Irene married a William Martin if that is any help at all.

Sophie you're wonderful! I have been struggling with these.

She had 12 children. I am also missing Amelia Poole. No sign of birth or death, she apparently died young and was a twin of Emma born Sept 1907 died Jun 1909.

I wonder if Mary is Amelia as I have no knowledge of a Mary.

Your help is really appreciated,

Selena
