Hi Jack
Many thanks for looking at that - not got around to it yet due to the weather, housepainting & holidays!

Odd. Not sure what to make of that. I wonder if she was still in the Maternity Hospital? (John born 18th March) Or if indeed, she is just missed out for some unknown reason - perhaps she was planning to leave the maternity hospital on the Sunday (2nd, but maybe in the end stayed there overnight) but was not due back at the Graham's till the next day (3rd, a Monday), after registering John on the way back to the Grahams? So neither place listed her? I 'm making it up now!! :lol:

I have no idea how long women stayed in hospital after the birth of a child back then - birth on 18th March, and if she left 2nd/3rd April then thats just over a fortnight later.

Best wishes
Lesley
