I am indeed very grateful for your help and advice. There is no father's name on the birth certificate so I've nothing to go on from his side. I only know Dad was brought up in Hollybrook House and have contacted Southampton archives about this.
My daughter and I would dearly love to discover more and now know how to try and go about it.
Kind regards Liz

As there is little likelihood of the OP ever returning.........here goes
This one is old enough to have been giving birth in 1918........but there's no way to prove it's the right person

Hello Elizabeth, welcome to the community boards.
As Reggie says, you'll get much more help if you start a thread of your own. Just go to the first page of this board and use "Add Topic". Before you do, you might find it helpful to read the "Help Clinic" link over on the left under "Tools".
Good luck.

I am looking for a Lily Gibbs in this area who would have been my grandmother. My father, Henry Gibbs, was born in a Southampton workhouse with the name of his mother on his birth certificate as Lily Gibbs of 60 Northumberland Road which, I think, is either Portsmouth or may be Southampton.
Would dearly love to trace ancestors as Dad was left to grow up in the workhouse before making his way in the world. He was a wonderful person, much loved by all who knew him and with a distinguished service record in WW2.
Grateful for any info

If you take out Ancestry's 14-day free trial, you will be able to look for possible marriages etc for them.
Lily may have re-married - she was certainly young enough
