I think I may have to have a drive an see what I can find out.

The address on the birth certificate is 2, The Council Houses, Great Witchingham, Norwich.

My mother is still alive and I do have her birth cert as I applied for it but I'm not sure how to use the information to further my search. Thanks f...
