have you got the marriage cert for Isaac?

When did lily die ? do you have her actual birth date?

i would apprecaiate any advice on how to locate a birth for my great grndmother.

On My Grt Grandfathers marriage cert she is shown as lily Onions otherwise Foster. With her father as Samuel Isaac Onions. Her death certificate shows her as Lily Mansell maiden surname Foster born
nd December Retford.

Samuel and his wife are on the 1911 census in retford as Onions.

In 1924 Lily's parents according to the address on her marriage cert are shown on the electoral roll in birmingham as samul and Florence May Foster.

How do I go about finding out her name - she could have been adopted, bt again how do i find that.

any advice would be most welcome

THank you Sharon :-)
