Thanks to both Dea and Clare. Mary is consistant on every census in stating that she was born in West Drayton but I just haven't found anything whereabouts exactly or about her family. I guess a visit to the local records office is in order!! Since the arrival of the internet the various genealogy sites I find it difficult to go back to the old days of travelling far and wide to search records!
