Mary Whitehouse b1908ish, 22nd February, was my grandmother. She married Harold (Henry) Fox and had a sister Elizabeth (Lizzie) and a brother called David (Davy).
She moved to Canada for a while and my father (Harold Fox) was born there.
Can anyone shed any light on her parents and granparents?

Thank you,

Shirley

Silly question but was Tilly definitely Harold's sister.
Or could she have been Mary Whitehouse's sister ?

I should have said that the reason why I'm asking is that there is a Hilda Whitehouse registered at Sedgefield in 1913
Mothers maiden name Daley
Any chance that "Tilly" was born Hilda

David Whitehouse married Mary Ann Daley in 1907 in Durham

Not sure Tillie could be Hilder, or it may be Lizzie, I am hopeful,
The Davy I have never Married as far as I know
