UPDATE

I have had the marriage certificate come through and the surname is Spangully. Her father's name is Guiseppe Spangully which to me indicates Italian. Where can I find birth records for Italy?

I think the certificate seems the only way to go! Just get's very frustrating when you can't find someone. She must have come from somewhere! Thanks for all your help.

Get a copy of the certificate - there might be another clue there. You only have to look through bmd to see how many weird and wonderful surnames there are out there.

Renay Maria certainly sounds more French than English so that could be a possibility.

Came across this sound alike especially if French.

Searched from 1925 through to 1930 on ancestry.co.uk bmd index

I think I'll have to order a copy of the certificate. Just seemed odd that the surname Spangully doesn't appear anywhere! Is there a website that you can search overseas births?

When you looked for a birth where did you look

Have you got a copy of the marriage certificate? If so how old was she in 1956 and was the spelling of the name Spangully. It is possible she was not born in the UK with given names of Renay Maria.

I am trying to find the birth record for Renay Maria Spangully on ancestry.co.uk. She married Ron Farwell in 1956 but I can't find her anywhere else. I've looked through the birth records and that surname doesn't exist anywhere! I've even googled it and only one entry is listed using the name Spangully which is just a myspace web page.

Any help on if this is a real name would be greatly appreciated!!!
