I am trying to find any information, as I have only just found out her name from my mothers birth certificate, which I have just obtained.
I knew my great Aunts when I was younger (May and Edith) but never knew my grand mother, or even her name as they died sometime when I was a child.
With no known relatives I have struggled to find this side of my family tree

In 1891, William and Mary W are all by themselves in Ilkeston at 10 Union Road, and this should be William in 1881: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=2612908

Many thanks.
Now I need to find out about Samuel White who married Alice Gertrude Potter.
-
Do you know when they married approximatively, Coalmantrains? :)
-
Unfortunatly I have no idea, all I know is that their daughter Mavis Mary was born in 1921, my mother and sometime later they had a son Jeffrey or Geoffrey.
They also moved to Ilkeston Road Trowell, possibly no 96 but I have no dates just memories from when I was about four years old.
-
OK - have found the marriage 8)
