Hi. I'm trying to find the family history of Jessica Rowe, born in London (Poplar/West Ham area) in 1912. She was my Paternal Grandmother, married to Alfred Hart on 12th Dec 1936. Thanks all!

Possible marriage for her parents? You'll need her birth cert to be sure of their names though, you should then be able to trace them on the census.

You're the best! I have literally no information about Jessica's family so this is a great help. I'll see what else I can find as I'm trying to locate other members of the family. Thanks for all your help - you should be a detective!
