Hi there. I am looking for some assistance in finding more information about my fathers family.
I have a birth certificate for my great grandmother Rosalia JARVIS. Rosalia was born 27th November 1885 and the birth recorded 4th Jan 1886., Wellington, County of Salop. The certificate records her mother as Lucy JARVIS, a domestic servant. Her father is not recorded. The address on the birth certificate is Watling St, Wellington.
On her marriage certificate in 1905, Rosalia's father is shown as Thomas JARVIS (deceased) and in the 1911 census she is married living with her father and mother Thomas and Jane CHAMBERS. I am wondering is Rosalia was adopted?
Thankyou in advance for anything you maybe able to help me with, I sure any bit of information will throw up more questions, as it usually does. 
Yvonne

Hello Yvonne
The Wellington, All Saints baptism register for the period you want is available on the Find my Past (subscription) web site. You may be able to use this at your local Library or Archives if you don't have a subscription. If you need help finding the page ask here.
The original register Entry No:1236 on page 155 shows that Rosilla was born on 27 Nov 1885 and baptised on 16 Dec 1885 [the daughter of] Lucy JARVIS of Watling Street. There is no more information and no father mentioned.
Interestingly the previous entry in the register is for Ada [daughter of] Enoch & Margaret JARVIS of Watling Street [he was a] Miner. She was born 24 Nov 1885 and baptised 9 Dec 1885.
