Info on Grandfathers 1st wife Lily Keightley nee Hood
« on: Tuesday 31 May 11 21:27 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find info out about my grandfathers 1st wife.  Her maiden name was Lily Hood and married my grandfather James Keightley in the 1930's.  I believe they lived in the Shankhill Road area of Belfast.  Lily was killed in a traffic accident not long after they were married, so any pointers as to where I could look for info would be appreciated.

I've found a birth record for an Elizabeth Hood in 1911, but I'm not able to confirm if this is Lily.

Thanks in advance

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
