Or it could have been a 'nick' name ?

Have added groom to my last posting, looks like it's your great aunts marriage.
If you buy the certificate it should tell you her fathers name

Do you think the name Lielly could be a shortened version of another name, it'll be just my luck that she used her middle name :)

Found this marriage but the groom is missing from the page so can not see if he is Laurence...

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1983 about Eliza E Grout
Name: Eliza E Grout
Year of Registration: 1921
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's Surname: Leaper

I double checked the Index, page & quarter,
and the grooms name was Lawrence M. LEEPER

Hi

I'm having trouble finding any infomation on my great aunt

Lielly GROUT i'm not 100% on the spelling of Lielly, it may be Lylie, nor do i have her year of birth. I believe she was born in the Edmonton or Hampton area of London

I believe her parents to be William Grout b.1862 and Mary A Hodgkins b.1854, she married Laurence Leeper, unsure of year but he was born in 1895 and they had a daughter Iris born in 1921. She doesn't appear on the 1901 census with her parents so i can only assume that she was born after this date.

Any info would be really appreciated as she is my link in confirming that I have the right family,

many thanks
Debby
