Vera Grace Walker
« on: Sunday 29 March 15 14:18 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone - I'm hoping someone can help me or point me in the right direction.

Vera Grace P Walker was born on 3rd Oct 1912 in Canada (not known where). It's believed that she came to Liverpool from Canada in childhood before marrying Lewis Gerred in London in 1938. She passed away in Peterborough in 2000.

Can anyone help with identifying where she was born and who her parents were please?

Many thanks
Phil

Does her marriage to Lewis offer any hints?

Hi

Do you have the marriage certificate, if so, who was her father and his occupation

Have only just found the marriage so will order the certificate and see what info it reveals. Family gossip has it that Vera had no idea that she was born in Canada until she tried to apply for a passport in later life. Very strange.....

Birth info comes from death record

Very happy when people order certs.

It IS a strange one,though...how would she have found that she was a born Canadian by trying to apply for a passport?

Best,
Maureen
