Hi. It's from another source. When I thought the replies had ceased on here, I continued with my search, but I am glad I popped back just to check.

The birth certificate for Elizabeth on GRO gives the correct date of birth (24.5.1896 - Salford), and the mother as Elizabeth Ann Hyde, formerly Blackwell. Peter Hyde is listed as the father.

The death certificate for Elizabeth Hyde on the GRO in 1897 gives the father as John, a tram driver and Elizabeth Ann as the mother. There is a marriage for John Hyde and Elizabeth Ann Swindells in 1890. ???

I only came across this elusive lady when talking to someone at a funeral this week (my 9th this year - sigh), She was telling me that she couldn't find her grandmother.........and here we are! :)

As always, very grateful for any input. Cx

Thanks ArgyllGran. The lady is very pleased to have the mystery solved, and it has given her very elderly mother something to talk about. All good.

Many thanks for the input. x
