Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 1 Send Message	Hello I am trying to help a friend with his tree of his mothers her name is Lorna May Whitehead, her mother Florence was unmarried and her daughter was living with a family of White in Henley on Thames Oxford. Lorna May was born in 1912 on her birth certificate it says her mother was a servant in London South Norwwod but it doesnt give Florence age, I have no idea when or where she was born the only thing I can think of she may have been adopted by these people called White
