WOODS / WOOD / PURDY
My mother was born Audrey Victoria Woods at the Salvation Army Hospital in Vancouver BC in May, 1927. She states that her real mother's name was also Audrey Woods who was an unwed single mother at the time of giving birth to her. My mother has said that she had lovely handwriting (very scripted) and was working at a dry cleaners or perhaps a a waitress at the time of birth. Audrey Victoria Woods (my mother) was adopted (about 1-1 and 1/2 years later) (1928-1929) by a Sarah and Arthur Wood of Vancouver Island, BC who changed my mother's name to Mavis Elaine Wood. I have searched for some time to try to determine who my mother's birth mother was - to get more information on her to provide a mental framework for the geneaology from this side of the family. The reason for posting here is that my mother married an Allen Bruce Purdy. If anyone knows anything about this or can help me, please let me know.
