It would appear that when the infant daughter of Elizabeth Davies was born in Stockport Workhouse Infirmary in September 1903, it was registered with the Christian name Ethel. So now we have the full name of the child drowned in Werneth Low Quarry, Ethel Davies.<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I would also like to take this opportunity to respond to the comments made by Gerald (Hyde DP).<br /> <br />To try to estabish the paternity of Elizabeth Davie's illegitimate daughter after a period of 109 years have passed would be like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Obviously, Gerald Hyde DP is unhistorical, he has no notion of ancestry, chronology or historical record. One might think that, being at the bottom of the social pile, Elizabeth Davies would have had less reason than most to keep secret the name of the child's father. But that is to misread the situation. Respectability and secrecy was important, even to a 21 year old domestic servant. However, if Gerald Hyde DP would like to try to establish the paternity of the child, there are a very large number of possible candidates. He might first start looking at most of the adult male population of Stockport for January 1903.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929907108423825885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-20061498043677939492012-02-24T15:13:02.684+00:002012-02-24T15:13:02.684+00:00Hi Dave
