Hi I have tried and tried to find my grandmother, but can't find anything only registry of marriage. I don't know her date of birth, but know she was born in the Isle of Wight, and she married in 1935 in London to Patrick O'Connor, they had 2 children born 1935 and 1938. The marriage ended. I don't know if she remarried. I need to find her as her daughter is desperately ill and wants to know about her mother. If anyone has any tips or can help me I would be very grateful thankyou Pat..... |

Pat, What was her name? If you order the marriage cert it will list her age and father's name. Rose |

Hi Richard, The middle initial is E so I don't think that can be it. Rose |

She's the only Winifred Read born IOW between 1900 and 1920. Are you sure that she was born there? |

Pat, The only way to find out if she remarried is to look through the Complete BMD Index ranges & Images 1837-1983 here: http://ancestry.*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Remove the * Will take some time. Rose |
