  BMD Certificates

  BC: Swann, Nellie Youle (1894) "Auntie" Nellie was adopted soon after she was born by great grandfather Cook's family. The circumstances have remained unclear. The certificate suggests that she was illigitimate although her mother was a recent widow. We do not know conclusively who her father was but the 1901 census shows a John Youle (a gas fitter) lodging with her mother.
