Was she your dad's or your mum's mother? I'm assuming from your surname that she was your mother's but I may be wrong. If you get your mum's birth certificate (or your dad's if it's his mum) then this will have her maiden name on it. You can then look for her marriage certificate, which will give you her father's name and occupation, which will help when looking for her birth. Kath. x

Well worth ordering up the Death Cert from the GRO on the Internet - £7 Takes about 7 days to send it to you

This is her death Q3 1972 Gilbert, Mary Ruby, DOB 21 Feb 1900, Cardiff 8b 851. Do you know her maiden name (assuming she was married)? From that we could find her birth.
