Yes my grandmother is still alive - a healthy 88! She was Edith Pardoe (married Tom Allies) daughter.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: marriage hughes-harris Bromsgrove ?
« on: Sunday 09 March 08 19:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi
My great great grandmother was Mary Ann Harris. I am descended from her daughter Sarah, who on her marriage certificate to George Pardoe, listed her name as Sarah Harris Hughes. My grandmother, worked for her grandmother Sarah, as a housekeeper in the 1930's. By this stage Sarah and her husband George were extremely wealthy and my grandmother remembers their house with lots of beautiful things. George had a building firm and they owned quite a few houses in Waterworks Road in Worcester and employed 30 men. His firm built the wall around Stanley Baldwin's estate. By the 1930's Sarah was overweight and suffering from problems with her stomach, probably stomach cancer. Another overriding memory of my grandmother's was that Sarah was Jewish, very strict Jewish - I am not sure where her Jewishness comes from - whether it was her mother or fathers side - if anyone knows I would love to know. My Grandmother says that Sarah was always referred to as Sarah Harris - not Hughes or Harris Hughes as per her marriage certificate.
