Having trouble with my grandmothers tree, her name is Freda Louisa williams nee Gibbs, she was born in Frome Somerset on 29th March 1914, She is my Mothers Mother, whom she never knew, she was married to my Granfather William george White in January 1932, I've recently found out that they we're divorced in May 1953, although they we're seperated when my mothers was very small. Any help or Information would be made welcome. Thankyou

Does the marriage cert give her fathers info?

Marriage Mar 1932 Frome Vol 5c page 823

Her name was Williams! Her mothers maiden name was Gibbs.

If you want to trace her family backwards, then the birth cert will have parents details

Possible sister? Mothers maiden names only started in 1911, so any births before are guesswork.
