Does anyone have any information about my grandmother Emily Jane Willis.
She was born in November 1888 approx. I think she was born in Swindon.
She married Frank Titchener in January 1909, he was killed during world war one and she remarried in November 1916 to James Edward Mackman.
According to the marriage certificates her father was John Willis and I think her mother was Barbara Ann Willis nee Scott.

Do you know what the fathers occupation was on the marriage cert.
-
He was a labourer in railway factory.
