Any help or advice would be appreciated... I have a huge glitch in my family tree! My Romany great grandma, Drussilla Smith-Elliott (nee Smith but married a Smith) born c.1885, died 1976, lived in Leicester (but obviously travelled), listed as Licensed Hawker on 1939 register, was supposedly born in Scotland. A Romany lady very kindly found her parents and placed them in Cambridge BUT their daughter, Drussilla, married another man in 1917 so it's not her! My Drussilla married William Smith (born 1885) in 1906 in Leicester - I have their marriage cert. I have Drussilla's death cert and she was actually born in Fenny Stratford, Bucks. Her Dad was James Smith and I thought her Mum was Florence but not sure now. I need to know
A) what was her mothers name?
B) why did she attach Elliott to her name?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
her perants names may be wrong as james is not mentioned on her marriage cert infact no fathers name is mentioned.she is a huge brick wall to my friend.we have been searching for years.any help appreciated😀
