Re: Hiltons in Hove Sussex

Hi JUlie
Thanks for replying so quickly. I had thought of my grandfather being named after his father but I have no idea what the surname is as my grandfather is a Hilton and according to his birth certificate his Mother was a Hilton. My goal was to try and find any info on my grandfathers ancestors (mother and or father) and any possible siblings. All I have to work with is a birth certificate that states: Gordon Stanley
born: 1 January 1918
92 Conway st Hove
U.D.(not sure if this is an error for U.K or if it means usual domicile)
Mother: Ada Hilton a domestic servant

Father: left blank

Informant: Mother Ada Hilton 92 Conway st

registered: 12 feb 1918


and thats all.
I've tried to look for Ada Hilton but without a D.O.B. or any other info on her i havent gotten very far and we dont even know if the info on the certificate is true. So my next step is to try and find any info on the above mentioned address ( which I have no idea on how to do from here in Melbourne Australia). My granfather cant give me much more info because he was brought up in foster care and a boys home.Anyway thanks again for replying.
