Am trying to unearth details of my mother who I know was born Edyth Farrington on 6 May 1913 in Liverpool, Walton, West Derby, and whose parents were Thomas Herbert farrington and Adeline Mabel Ward. My mother was a twin (Margaret) and was born at Muslinet Street, Liverpool. However, it seems that soon after her birth my grandmother married Charles Frederick Pollington and this is the name my mother used in all subsequent documents, including passports, though her spelling was Edythe. She was therefore either adopted or Farrington died and my granddmother remarried.? It seems that somehow the twins were split up at a very early age - Margaret remaining in the UK and my mother coming first to South Africa and then to Rhodesia. I was born and still live in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) and need to be able to prove the identity of my mother in order to qualify for Right of Abode into UK.
I have only dabbled in genealogy over the past few years but hope this request may find someone with decent records.
