Hi Kathleen, They were all born in South Shields / Durham. I know Nellie was the youngest.

Was Mary Williams born in South Shields? If so this is the only birth for a Mary Williams registered in 1912:-

Mary A. M. Williams, mother's maiden name Trotter
Sept. qtr. 1912, South Shields, 10a, 1750

Could this be her? Are any of her brothers or sisters younger than her because if they are we could check their birth reference and see if the mother's maiden name is the same as this one.

UPDATE - this may be her as in the marriage index she gives her name as Mary A. Williams (perhaps she just dropped off the second middle initial). The marriage if you haven't got it is:-

Robert Mossman to Mary A. Williams
Dec. qtr. 1932, South Shields, 10a, 1555

I have been having a look for ages now and I am just not grasping this at all. Can anyone else see if they can have better luck than me.

I have the names of my great nans siblings but I would like to find the names of my great nans mum and dad. My great nan was called Mary Williams and she married my great grandad Robert Mossman. Mary had siblings called Isabella (known as Bella), Charlotte (known as Lottey), Nellie, Milly, Mary (my great nan), Thomas. Marys parents also adopted a boy called Stan when he was 2. They lived in John Williamson street, south shields. I would like to try and find each of them, when they were all born and also the name of their parents and possibly the year they were born. I know my great nan mary was born in 1912.

Can anyone help?
