It might be worth checking that address in the electoral lists to see who lived there in subsequent years. |

Got it, you are looking for a marriage of Lily Thomas in the Ramsgate area, some time after 1953 when she had your father. Plus any children from that marriage, or any other children with the surname Thomas in case she didn't marry. |

Alison, when you get the birth cert it will have Lily's mother's first name and maiden name and her father's full name, so as Seaham Lass says, you then have to search for a marriage between those 2 people i.e. a Mr (whatever his first name turns out to be) Thomas and the name of Lily's mother. |

I don't think that there is much more you can do until Lily's birth certificate arrives other than trawl through the marriage records for a marriage between a Mr Thomas and someone with Lily's mother's maiden name....waiting for those certificates is a nightmare...but when they land on the mat...whooppeee |
