i want to thank all u chaps for helpful suggestions, but jonesey, has bin a massive massive help, at present i am at a brick ish wall, waitin for birth certificate for my dad, thanks to jonesey, i'm gripped with this, it's very interesting, AND curious....lol....hummmm, yes, cat, curiosity.

Patchem,

You know what curiosity did to the cat ;-)

PM received back from Jane (Contains no personal information):

"wow thanks, i'm gonna have to check this out....cheers very much."

I think we wanted to know that you had found the marriage and sent information, or found the death and queried the marriage.
So:
pm of marriage sent.
Or:
pm of apparent death.

Sorry Flick but as the OP requested contact via her inbox rather than via a public forum I accordingly obliged. Little point in sending a PM and posting what its content was.

If you have any guidance or information to give to Jane I am sure that she would be grateful to receive it from you via PM as requested.

Welcome to the boards Jane.

Firstly,what a great name to research!

You need to get to know the Freebmd site. This holds entries for births, marriages and deaths from 1837-1950ish. It is free to search. Your grandmother's birth is easy to find, have a go.

i am very new to all this so i'm struggling a bit.
i am trying to find my maternal grand mother Gweneth Mary Stooksbury but i only know her maiden name, i also know that she was from Hackney or i think she was. she had a baby boy Patrick Stooksbury in 1938, June 21, but he was adopted in 17th may 1939 he went to live in Lydney nr. Glosucester with a Wilfred and Evelyn Watkins. Stooksbury is not a common name but i am sooo struggling, if anyone can help or even point me in some direction. i would be very grateful. please inbox me. she maynot be alive now, but i do know she went on to marry my dad's dad, and had more children, (brothers and sisters)
