Really stuck. Trying to find my great grandmother's maiden name, on my grandmother's birth cert it states (former) name Brighton, she was born in Cork Ireland 1864. I have her death cert no help though. I have searched over and over for her marriage to James Mills, no luck at all.

When and where was your Grandmother born? I'm slightly confused about the birth cert!
Just guessing - is this them in 1911?? If so, and james is in the army, maybe they married in Ireland.

PM from Roger:
Many thanks, that is the correct Mills family my grandmother was Emily Ann born 1889.
Not sure why this was sent to me!

Many thanks to all, what a fantastic response, wow. I now have all the info to go forward again. I have also learned how to look for a name that sounds the same.
Regards
Roger
