We need some more clues, Val.

When was Maud born?
And who did she marry?
Was Collett her maiden or married name?

Thanks does seem right for nans family, she was born in the 1880s had 3 husbands , Hayhow, gandar and Martin, I think my dad Robert Hayhow was her only child.,

Unfortunately, it's hard, if not impossible, to trace any living relatives.

If Minnie's daughter Mary did marry Leonard Moore, they don't seem to have had any children.

There's only one subsequent Moore/Jonas birth showing up. But it's in 1955 in Romford, so is probably the child of a different Moore/Jonas marriage which was in Romford in 1954.

William & Florence's daughter born 1921 doesn't have an unusual enough name to identify any particular record of marriage or death (if she didn't marry) as being relevant to her.

ArgyllGran Report 14 Nov 2016 12:13

According to a tree on Ancestry, Florence had two children from her first marriage (Pring).

Births Sep 1911 (>99%)
Pring Ivy M Gray Lambeth 1d 630


Births Jun 1913 (>99%)
Pring Alfred E C Gray Camberwell 1d 1734

Both married and had children. Alfred married twice.

I can find out more details if you're interested, but they're not blood relatives of Maud - only her brother's step-children.
