I’ve ordered Sylvia’s birth certificate to see if there is a fathers name.
I’ve found out that Sylvia lived with her mother and grandmother Lucy Attwell when she was born in Waterloo St. Tipton.
When she was 10 her mother Louie married George Phillips a gardener and they lived in Sedgley.
A yr later Sylvia moved back to live with her Nan Lucy.
Sylvia had 2 half brothers Kenneth and Ronald who were George’s.
Not sure where Codsall is in the story
