Beverley Report 21 Sep 2007 21:04

My great grandmother was called Eliza Elizabeth Hillyard, born c1879 and died 1946.
She married Arthur Sturgess c1915.

I am trying to trace her parents but i'm hitting a brick wall as I can only find her grandmother but not sure if she is maternal or paternal side of family.

Any help would be appreciated.
