[MONGERSMOM]

Hi all, I need some guidance on how to find my great nan Sylvia Amy McKenzie. Here is what I have:

1901 c lodger in my grandfathers home (married Owen Grant) her birth was stated as 1877 Highbury London. Married this year I believe in Liverpool (cannot find that record)

1911 c married went by Amy Grant stated born in 1875 in south Hackney London

March 1939 death index for Sylvia A. Grant birth approx 1875.

Help please! on one of the records it stated she was born at home.

on one of the records it stated she was born at home.

I think you will find that comment refers to where she works not where she was born

Their eldest daughter was baptised at St Augustine's Catholic church Lancashire, so they may have married in the same church, don't no if it's any help but the godparents were Thomas and Maria Mcgrath

The family were Roman Catholic?

There is a RC baptism for daughter Sylvia Annie in 1902:

Silvia Anna Grant, b. 25 May 1902 and baptised on 3 Jun 1902 at St Augustine (Augustini), Lancashire, England. In the RC Latin way, parents show on register as: Oweni Grant and Silvia Alona Mckenzie. Godparents a Thomas and Maria McGrath.

thanks yes I have that, Sylvia Annie is my grandmother, her mothers name was actually Sylvia Amy McKenzie, which was listed on hers and her sisters birth certificate. Her father was Owen Grant, I cannot find anything further though, as to where she was actually from, born or who were parents were. At a dead end on this one.  Thanks again to those who have tried.

while looking on my nans and her sisters birth certificate, their mums name was spelled MACKENZIE, not McKenzie. still have not been able to locate her, wondering if she was married to a Mackenzie and had a different maiden name.
