And a Grace E Smith in Dec 1917 Basford 7b 411 Mothers maiden name Rich. Basford is in Nottinghamshire apparently.

Thank you very much Carol. Yes That is definately my Uncle. My Nan's maiden name was Robson. Where did you find it?

Hi I have looked on 1837(had spare credit)and can confirm your uncles birth but the only birth I can find in the correct Quarter and year for a Grace Watts is in Leicester 7a 366 and mothers maiden name is Ward.

Hi Lynne, Have you looked for her under her Edith Grace? My Ggrandmother used both her names whichever way round she wanted, but everyone called her by her middle name. Cazza
