Her name was Dora Edith Blatchley and her mother was called Winnie Blatchley there is no fathers name on certificate and as far as we know she was brought back just after she was born. I cant find any link with Cardiff anywhere so i was just wondering really. Thanks Lita

Thank you all it was just the Cardiff connection i was wondering about , why her mother would go so far away to have her and then give her away, i think she had a great secret to hide maybe the father. Well thank you all for helping me . Happy hunting Lita
