Hi everyone,
My father William Albert Waghorn was b. 1927 in Hackney Workhouse London. His mother was Elsie Ruth Waghorn b. 1908. Sevenoaks, Kent.
I have been struggling to find anything for her apart from her birth and her marriage later on in life & death.
What I would like to find out was what happened with her in between her birth and Dad's birth and after that.
I did the Ancestry DNA test and have come up with 31% GB and 28% European Jewish. Dad was illegitimate and so was his mother so my guess is the Euro/Jewish could be the unknown father of William or the unknown father of Elsie.
I can trace my Waghorn family back to around 1799.
Also my GGGrandfather was a police inspector at Maidstone and havent been lucky enough to source any info about that apart from what is on the Census records. Any help there would be great too
William George Waghorn b. 1850/1 Brenchley, Kent
I currently am an active member of Ancestry but live in Australia so its a bit hard to do much digging.
Any help greatly appreciated
Cheers
Kirsty
Our T&C's don't allow the posting of the names of living people or those who may still be alive Kirsty. So I'm afraid I have had to removed your father's name as you don't say whether he is deceased or not. If he is we can put it back in for you.
Thank you Kirsty - now back in
