Lucy was my great grandmother. Unmarried, she had two children Daisy, 1907 and Reginald, 1915. Neither birth certificate names the father. I know that she resided in places as diverse as, North Pickenham and Watton in Norfolk as well as some time in Cornwall. Any clues, however tenuous, would be very welcome. Thanks
