I have recently found a piece of paper that my grandmother and her sister wrote out about 15 years ago. They are both no longer alive but they both seem to claim that their mother Alice Maud Macey had 4 sisters born between 1888 and 1904 and one brother called Oswald Macey. I have found Alice and all her sisters but can find no record of any Oswald. The girls were all born in Gloucester apart from Alice who was born in Wales. Please can anyone find any record of a Oswald Macey anywhere? Thank you.

Hello there, Ida, Alice ,Edith and Amy were all alive then, Dorothy was born in 1904 and my grandmother added Oswalds name at the bottom of the girls names, maybe because he was the youngest or maybe because he was the only boy , i just dont know...
