You need to locate her on the 1881 census, which will identify her place of birth. Reg

Reggie I have bought too many certificates lately to be able to buy another one for the next few months at least, I was going to wait and not do this side of the family until a few months later into the year, but I have rellies in Oz that I am only recently in contact with who are desperate to know more, I have photos of the Steer's going back 4 generations and need to know more about them.

Might this possibly be her marriage? Jessie Maud Steer 1902 Jul-Aug-Sep Brighton Sussex, East Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 542 The cert would tell you the name and occupation of her father, which may prove helpful when trying to locate her. Reg
