My grandmother: Phoebe Ward
So ive just found out that its highly likely that my grandmother was born in Staffordshire in 1920, not ireland as previously thought.. which meant she spent at least 19 of her years there considering she was married in Bilston in 1939..
So...
I was wondering, considering the year is not included in any currently viewable census, whether there is anyway anyone can help with finding out about the family?
I have her family address for when she was married:
2 Livingstone Road,
Bilston
August 1939.
And she was either born in Wolverhampton or West Bromwich (just awaiting birth certs to confirm which one)...
I have an incling she had an older brother, because there is an S. Ward as a witness, (and Im assuming to be a witness you had to be over 21?).. as well as a Mrs MA Ward (assuming her mum.. again awaiting birth certs).. but there is no S.Ward born in England to the two possible mothers maiden names... so methinks they moved to England from Ireland prior to her being born.
I just want to find out about the family... if she had siblings.. when her parents died (if they died in England)... but I dont know how to do this without the relevant census which wont come out for ages...
help!
Also, Im thinking of trying from the angle of her husbands family PHILLIPS (11 Guy Avenue, Low Hill, Wolverhampton - August 1939)....
