Hello,

I am looking for help in finding information on my husbands great grandmother.

Her name was Doris Ann ALBURY and she was born on August 22, 1903 in Handsworth, Stafford, she passed away on September 23, 1984. Her mother was Kate Emily ALBURY (I believe her maiden name was JAMES but could have been ALBURY) around 1875 and had 3 brothers and 1 sister. Unfortunately when Doris was 7 her mother would die of heart problems. Doris would live with her aunt Lucy (married name MCLEAN) until she was unable to care for her any longer (Lucy's husband Joseph?? was very sick and was unable to work).

Doris was handed over to a Bernardo home and would be there for roughly 2 years before being shipped to Canada in 1915. Once in Canada she was placed in a home in Peterborough, ON, she would later be placed and removed from a number of homes before finding the perfect fit in Port Hope, ON.

I am stuck on finding out anything about her parents. Her father left her mother and her when she was just a few months old and all we know is his first name is John and he was the local milkman. We have the files from Bernardo Homes and a lot of it is conflicting. We have also obtained her Birth Certificate which has provide little to no new information.

Any help on a connect or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
