Hello and pleased to be here

Postby meggy7 » Mon Dec 07, 2020 10:18 pm

Hi
I have been building my family tree for many years but have now reached a point where a family secret needs to be unfolded.
I have very little to go one regarding my Grandmother Dorothy Henrietta Tennant, born 1905 in Islington, family lore says she somehow caused the death of her baby sibling during a bath. She may have been around the age of 10 to 16 and was placed in a Convent presumably nearby. She learnt to make the most exquisite crochet some of which l still have. Only one family member who is is their 80's remembers her Mother (sister of Dorothy) mentioning the fact but we would love to find out more and hopefully set the records straight. So far l have a list of Convents in the Islington area of the time but l do not know how to go forward and of course she may not have been placed in a local Convent. Another theory l have thought about is the fact she may not have caused the death of a sibling, of whom l cannot find any details, but may have given birth herself.

Some pointers and advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanking you
Meggy

Hi Meggy, Welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
