Hi Angela,
My grandmother's name was May Woodhall. According to her birth certificate, she was born 18 May 1900 at 87 Park Lane, Oldbury; parents John Woodhall and Elizabeth Woodhall formerly Price. She never remembered much of her early years, but said she was left at a "orphanage" at about 3 years old. She never talked about her life in England. She was sent to Canada June 1910 as a Home Child. She was adopted by John Wallace and Frances Taylor in Kingsbury, Quebec. She always considered them her parents, and my Dad knew them as his grandparents. Grandma died in march 1987 of Alzheimers disease. The Wallaces considered her birthday on 1 May, and Dad didn't know different until she sent for her birth certificate for her pension at age 65. That's when she said her birthday was really 18 May. When she started getting sick, she destroyed a lot of papers and pictures, including her birth certicate. I sent for a copy of her birth certificate last year, and the dates match. Dad and I have always been curious about her biological family, and I promised him I would see what I could find out.
As for her siblings, all I have I found out from census records between 1881 and 1901. I still haven't found May on the 1901 census.
I appreciate hearing from you, and hope to hear from you again,
Rhoda Blake-Hudson
