This is the right person alviegal I do have these record already thank you.

Edith, often known as Grace, did travel a lot, she was born in America to English parents, returned here then went to Australia, back to England, but I know she married a Mr Riley after 1902, but not in England, she eventually lived in South Africa, but I think she ay have returned to Australia and married, I hope so ,because i have no idea how to check marriages in South Aftrica :-)

Marie, Edith Grace was born in Massachusetts USA.

Grace Bennet was born in or near Victoria Australia :-)

Hello Lynda, can you tell us where and when they were born?

I believe it's your tree on ancestry that has Edith Grace as living South Africa - might the marriage have happened there?
