Without an indication of date  nor location, then there is little to be done.

What era have you for the birth of these kids, names etc?

I was going to say that the above entry is very probably correct - until I saw your other thread where you call her Mary Alice .... hmmmmm

Why dont you spell out everything you know about these people - especially name and DoB of the 1915 child. A birth cert will then reveal the maiden name of the lady concerned ...

NecroMancer is correct in saying that it help enormously to state everything you know at the outset.

BUT - Monkey1 is also correct in withholding information about persons that they believe might still be alive.

It is a dilemma, but it is against Rootschat policy to publish details of living persons, due to identity theft & other abuses.

I wonder, if you know the identity of one of the children - could you obtain the birth certificate (or even look up the birth) which would give you the mother's maiden name.  Approaching the problem from a slightly different angle?

You can look at the complete indexes yourself (currently free) here:

Good point, well made ArranRoots - I had already suggested the birth cert source of maiden name, and provided some potential clues to Index entries.

sadly, based on the other thread,  I suspect that these names are unknown.....
