Nursing auxiliary, Plymouth, 1955 to 1992

- Died

Registered at St Just in August 1932 with the father's column left blank, and raised in the Cape Cornwall Street house by her mother and her grandmother Grace, who was then sixty. She was told at nine that Loveday was her mother and not her sister, and she never entirely accepted it. She left for Plymouth at twenty two and stayed. In 1979 she sent for her own birth certificate, hoping the copy would say more than the one she had been shown. It did not. The blank in her record is the record and not a gap in it.
