Yes thats what i thought. But then i suppose she could have been just married or something.

I cant find a marriage between caroline and a stubbs which is strange and i cant find a death for her either. Really confusing me.

I'm guessing Billy would have been a fair bit younger for Ida to look after him.

Have you found a marriage for Caroline & Mr Stubbs, or a death for Caroline?

They were Baileys. I think i have a birth for Marion in 1907- pretty sure on that one, and possibly one for sarah in 1903. I'd love to know what it says for mothers name and fathers name or even mothers maiden name but i guess i will have to send off for the certificates.
Its billy i cant seem to find.

Sorry, not getting very far. Were Marion & Sarah Baileys or Stubbs?

Could be slightly different areas. The most likely ones are (in order) Sandbach, Middlewich, Northwich, Nantwich, then other cheshire areas like maybe congleton.

Hello Everyone,
I recently got my grandmother's birth certificate and there is no father on there(im guessing she was illegitimate) but her mother's name is stated as Caroline Elizabeth Bailey. My grandmother was named Ida Bailey and born in 1911 in Sandbach, Cheshire.
My Grandma Ida had a half brother who was a bit younger than her and his name was Billy Stubbs (im guessing short for william). My dad says that Ida and Billy had the same mother but different fathers.
It then seems that Billy's father got killed (possibly at war) and for whatever reason Billy got put into an orphanage and my grandma Ida ended up looking after him eventually.
I dont know if the mother died herself or if she just couldnt cope.
There is two other sisters of Ida- Marion and Sarah. I think i've found there births but i cant find anything about billy.
Am i just looking in the wrong places? Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
Hannah
