Are you sure about the place of birth? If not then there is this birth which looks a likely contender:- Audrey Alma Lane, June qtr. 1910, Oxford, 3a, 1108 You could order this birth certificate and give the father's name that you have as a checking point. They will then only send the certificate if the father's name matches what you give them. If it's not then they will refund £4 of the £7 cost. Kath. x

If you give us her surname and when and where your grandad was born, someone might be able to find her birth reference which will have her proper name. Kath. x

Alma is a real name. Do you know when and where she was born? If so, have a look at the GRO birth register index. nell

Don't these people who get called by other names drive you mad? All my life I have called my Aunt Sheila, then I've just discovered her real name is Lorna. Are you sure Alma wasn't her real name?
