My mother's mother was Janet alice Dodds (widow)
Her maiden name was Stewart
Her father was William Thomas Stewart
(or possibly Thomas William stewart, I'm not certain)

Mr Stewart was a chair maker, it says so on his daughter's marriage certificate.

I'm looking for my grand mothers mother, my gggm

Time birth frame 1860 approx

Can any one help?

There are possible marriage of Thomas/Martha on FreeBMD but it might be a good idea to purchase the birth certificate of 1884 to confirm the parents.

You should now be able to find Thomas on 1881.......free to all on www.familysearch.org

Well done Eric. No wonder I couldn't find it.

There seems to be several possible children of Janet and Mr Dodd on FreeBMD. Link given above.
