Edith Elizabeth Weeks had been born at Calbourne Mill on the Isle of Wight in 1893. She was one of the nine children of the miller George Duncan Weeks and his wife Emma Caroline Baker. Edith moved to work in Portsmouth during World War 1 and in 1917 she was a children's nurse. Her daughter, Kathleen Weeks, was born at the home of a midwife, Mary Ann Leah Corddell in 1917. In February 1922 Edith married Roy Harvey at Calbourne on the Isle of Wight and by August 1922 her daughter, Kathleen, had been privately adopted by Henry William and Henrietta Newton and lived in Edmonton, London. Kathleen's children are keen to fill in the missing five years of their mother's life (1917-1922) and to try to find out who their father was and to find anyone at all who can add any details about her early life. | |
