I am looking for anything on my grandmother's parents and sisters. My grandmother, Eva Ruth Davis born 1908 at Smethwick, Staffordshire her father's name was Bertram or Bertrand Davis, mother Gertrude. Eva had four elder sisters, (no dates of birth unfortuantely) Kate Elizabeth first married a Crumpton then a Douglas, May married a Hodnett and Else married a Blakemore.

Does anyone have any information?

Thanks Minnie, sorry should have mentioned I have Eva Ruth's birth cert. and marriage cert.

The marriage of Arthur and Gertrude looks promising, I'm not counting on Eva's parents being married before the elder sisters were born. Eva has no father named on her birth cert but her mom is named Gertrude Davis, Bert Davis appears on Eva's wedding cert:))

Kate, known as Lizzie was a lot older than Eva, I remember Lizzie in the early 50's and she seemed ancient to me
