Myrtle was born in 1892 and I think she died in the 70's.Her maiden name was Bennett and her first marriage was to Richard Knibbs.

I would love to find any relatives of Myrtle who I think lived in Marston Oxford. Her second marriage was to Francis Smith and they had at least two children I think, Frank and Marie.My connection is that her first marriage was to my grandfather but I know very little about her life and would love to learn more
Thank you to anyone who reads this
