I am looking for family of a friend.

I am trying to find anything on her nan and grandad.
There names are Nelson Harvey and Emma, they lived in East Ham area.
Emma was born in Southampton in 1880's? and died in 1950's?
They has 4 children,
Tom, Sarah, Emma (is my friends mum) and William who she thinks died in France.
Emma married a James and had 3 children,
Maud, Sarah-Jane and Betty.
I cant find much more, if anyone can help me i would be very greatful as my friend is 80 years old and this would be nice for her to find out about fsmily she dont know about.

Thankyou

My friend hasnt ordered any certs no and i have advised about getting the marriage cert so then we will get mmn for Emma.

She dosent know any dates at all.

She also said something about having children out of wedlock (sp) so they may have not got married.

Sorry im not much help.
