Hi, I’m trying to find more information about my grandmother from my dads side.
The only concrete info I have are from my dads birth cert and her marriage cert. I thought this would be enough info to trace back but keep hitting a brick wall!!! She has 3 surnames!!
Information from my dads birth cert (dated 1951)says her name is Nellie Enid Newcombe formerly Matthews
I’m assuming she was previously married? But cant find any info on this!
She was married to Peter Thomas 1951 and her name on cert was Nellie Enid Matthews and she was 35 and unusually it says she was a spinster???
Her fathers name was William Matthews, he was still alive in 1951 (I think, it doesn’t say deceased) and he was a night watchman (ret.)
I have looked extensively with all 3 surnames and cant find anything concrete, especially Newcombe surname.
It’s like she has no history at all before or after 1951
Can anyone help me???
I am extremely confused and frustrated
Thanks
