My grandmother was Vera Beatrice Stacey b. 7/1/1913 or 1914. I know she married my grandad Gordon Mee but am unsure of the date. If anyone can find out anything about her family I would be very grateful.I know she was married in Brighton but I am not sure where she was born- possibly Sussex

Hi Jodie, There's a Vera B Stacey registered in the 1st quarter of 1912 in Steyning district which is the right area. Mother's maiden name is Tilbury. Janice

Just looked up Vera's death on Ancestry. Seems the informant thought she was 2 years younger than she actually was! Good luck with your searching. Janice

There is definately some confusion in my family! In my original message I said that I thought she was born either 1913 or 1914. My aunt said 1913 then I went to her grave and worked out that it was 1914. I thought something must be wrong as I could not find her in either of those years. Thanks for your help Jodie
