My granny was born in 1901 and I am trying to trace her family. She was Irene Bertha
Brother Reginald born 1896
Sister Doris born 1898
There was another brother who died young but I dont know his name and have been unable to find it.
The family was ar0ound Devonport (Stoke Damerel) and St Germans.
I believe her Mum was Bertha and she died in 1907.
Her dad was Frederick William Shimmin and he married Bertha in 1895. He married again in 1908.
I believe Frederick had a brother Alfred Henry who married in 1898.
I have other births and marriages for the area and I'd just like to find out who belongs to who, so would like some look ups from 1901 backwards, if possible please.
Many thanks for reading this
