Iam searching for Minnie Gladman mother of Gladys Mabel Gladman. Gladys ,known as Queenie was brought up by a Boniface family in Southwick Sussex. She was born in 1894 no known father. [email protected]

Hi I have just seen this posting and I have just received the birth cert for Gladys and saw that the mother is Minnie Gladman. The Boniface's were my gg grandparents. Do you have any details as to why Queenie was brought up by the Boniface's?

Hello, Susan -

Unfortunately, it's 8 years since Sylvia posted that, so she's unlikely to be looking for replies now.

You can click on her name and send her a personal message. If she's still registered with GR , and still has the same email address, they'll send your message on to her.

Or try emailing her at the address she gives.

Susan, it looks as if the Bonifaces adopted Gladys. At least, she has their surname in 1901 and 1911:

Minnie married in 1896, so Gladys must have been illiegitimate, and therefore she was adopted by the Bonifaces.
