	That's nearly 100 years Amy. Is there the same surname, born about the same time on namesearch here that is being researched. You could then contact about a possible link. How about working forward a bit. Have you got her address at marriage? If it's an unusual name you could write to people in that area with the same surname. You could also write to a local paper with a brief outline and dates and ask for friends or relatives to contact.
