Recieving all this information about a person our family knew very little about, and her family, has been so fantastic and I must say I am hugely greatful for those who have helped.

Once again Many Thanks

If you want birth, marriage or death refs to buy the certs you can use freebmd to look them up and then buy them for £7 from GRO online.

You may want to think about getting a sub with ancestry.co.uk if you intend to do further research - all the census info 1901-1841 plus much much more.

This is amazing.
