Trying to find Shore

Apparently my grandfather's mother was called MAY SHORE born around 1897. I can't find a record of her and so am at a bit of a loss. Apparently she married my great grandfather ERNEST ELEMENT and had roughyl 8 children (one of them being my grandfather SAMUEL ELEMENT). I would be grateful for any help anyone can give me.

Hi Davina,

Do you have any idea where your great-grandmother, May Shore, might have been born? I have lots of Shore/Shores in my family tree, but they all originated from Lincolnshire, and later on from Yorkshire (particularly Hull)

Hi Davina. Your original request surfaced again today and I have found the following.

Marriage of Ernest Element to May SHORT. 1915. April/June Qtr. reg in Kings Norton. vol 6d 206.

If you get a copy of the certificate it will give their ages, their Father's names and occupations and witnesses who may be siblings.

Possible birth.
May Gertrude Short. 1896. April/June Qtr. reg in Kings Norton. vol 6c 477/

Hope this helps.Ethel.
