Trying to find Gillingham

Hi, I'm just starting out on my family tree. I'm trying to locate any info with regard to my paternal grandmother, Rosetta (Rose) Gillingham (maiden name). We think she married a Blake (the story goes it was one of the Blake from Blake's holidays) and then owned/ran a large pub in the Stoke Newington area of London. She had 3 daughters- Dorothy (Dolly), Marie, Irene (Renee). Her brother, I think, was Lou Gillingham. She then later married Arthur Edward Hardy and had several children with him - Arthur, William (Bill), Stanley, Sylvia, Paul. My dad Stanley was born in Stoke Newington (1939), but they moved to Aston Clinton/Buckland in Bucks at some point after my dad was born. have now found her thanks to Eve Gillingham. Any help appreciated Helen Broadbridge (nee Hardy)
