Member Since: February 2008 Posts: 23 Send Message	I have just been up to the registry office to get Mabel's birth certificate. It shows that mabel's parents were indeed Walter and Susan Baker, which we knew but were not 100%. It also shows that mabel was born IN A VAN. Does anybody know what this could mean? could it mean a caravan as I think that they were travelling gypsies? Thanks a lot for all your help, we are now going to try and go further,

Member Since: February 2008 Posts: 23 Send Message	That is fantastic! How did you find Susan's maiden name? We have lots of females to trace but are having trouble finding the females maiden names to go further. Apparently, Walter was adopted at age five. How would I find his real parents?

Member Since: February 2008 Posts: 23 Send Message	I have found my great grand father who is Walter Baker. He was born Sept 1865/1866. His daughter was Mabel Baker born 21st February 1900. Her children were Albert, Trevor, Desmond, Rosina, Violet, Doreen and William. I cant seem to find this information on here. I am also looking for Mabel's siblings who were Sarah, Rose/Rosey/Rosina. I would be grateful if somebody could help me. i'm stuck! P.S there were born in Newport, Gwent South Wales.
