Birth 1901-03-30 Merthyr Tydfil Registration District   3 4 5
Event Note

The date of birth is not completely legible. Could be 18 March 1901. Actually, now we have the birth certificate, it looks like 30 March 1901. The other possibility is 13 March 1901, but the birth was registered on 10 May 1901, and that would have been beyond the legal time limit. So it does look like 30 March 1901.

Narrative

Ivor Fielder said that Blanche was "a real gypsy", although whether he was referring to her ethnicity or her adoption of a devil-may-care lifestyle isn't clear! He says that she used to tell fortunes from tea-leaves.
