Hi Gwyn

The witnesses were H Crane, I think that might be Herbert a nephew and Hannah J Staff.

Hi many thanks for your replies lostmeboardname

I suppose she could be either although the places of birth doesn't match, the second one is closest in date of birth, looks like I'll have to make an educated guess and request a birth certificate

I am trying to find more information about my maternal Grandmother..

I know that Alice was married to Ernest Charles Crane on 10 Jul 1920 at the Register Office in Great Yarmouth. At the time of her marriage her age is given as 31 and she was residing at Manor Row, Cantley. Her father was William Brown, labourer, I have the certificate. Alice died on 9 Oct 1961.

I am told by my uncle that Alice was born in Reedham in Norfolk and she had one sister called Florence, I cannot find any proof of this or any indication of her mothers name. I have looked at Freereg & Freebmd. I would be gateful for any help.

Thank you
