I am try ng to find my paternal Grandmothers history. Her name was Mary Elizabeth Cranston. As far as I know she was born in Bradford in 1901. She married Harry Riley and had five children - James, Jean, Nellie, Harry & John. I think her mother's maiden name was Shaw, possibly Sarah. She had a cousin called William. This is about all I know. If anyone can help me in my research, I would be very grateful.

Almost certainly from the Scottish border region. Register House Edinburgh has a computerised sytem in place that is escond to none. This is where to trace her family from. Yvonne
