There is no option other than to get the marriage certificate.

No chance of pursuing further.

Sorry for the delay in replying to you all, but he who thinks he should be obeyed wanted some dinner. I will digest all this info tomorrow and hopefully !!!! come to the right resul

I am sure you all know just how grateful I am as sometimes I do get a complete block and do not know which road to take. This info is to do
with another 97 year old I am interviewing and Louisa M Pothecary was her mother.

Only another 20 people to go !!!!!!

The first essential is to buy that marriage certificate to find out how old she was, and to see if there is the name of a father.

Father's name from the marriage certificate will help to find her.

Do you know when she died?
