thanks for your help.

yes potential, i have my grand father's birthcert. shes called Olive Marian Harrison, but no birth for that name, but there is for an Olivia Marian.

Olivia and William went on to have a son in 1922 born in Steyning, the same place as my grandfather was 3 years previous. Im going to do a little more research.

thanks.

'Potential' great grandmother?

So you aren't sure of her identity?

You need to be certain you are following the correct line, by verifying her name on your grandfather's birth cert .

Do you have that document?

Who was your great-grandfather?

Have you looked for/found the record of his marriage?

Is this it?
