Birth Certificate
From the notes of Alfred John Boon: This aunt I knew best, as she lived with us for some time. She worked as a pastry cook with Chapman Bakers, Plumstead Road. She had an illegitimate child, Lillian (Pip). She later became housekeeper to a widow in Swiss Cottage, and subsequently married and lived in North London. Pip was raised from birth by my mother, and of course lived with us. When she left school at age 14 she was invited to spend a holiday with her mother, who then put her to work.
