Trying to find my granmothers family. Her fathers name was Norman Victor b1901 d1950 (one of 10 children). His dad was Thomas Parris who married a ROSINA BETTS at St.Thomas hammersmith in London on 29/06/1895. Thomas was a royal horse guards man in the Hyde Pard Barracks from 15/03/1881 untill 1907. This is all we have. Any help?
