Hi, can anyone help me with any information on my Great Grandmother Sara Louise West. I believe she was born around 1868 in Bath, Somerset, England. She married Frank Alfred Rogers. They came over to Canada around the 1900's. They had 2 children: Edith and Alfred

Hi
Do you know when and where they married and do you have their marriage certificate? This would show her Fathers name - hopefully!
Where do you have the information on her possible birth from - I'm not finding her yet. Is it definite as to the spelling of her and also her husbands name eg Sarah rather than Sara and Rodgers or Rogers.
Any extra information and it's source will help us all further.
Thanks.

Thank you all so much for helping me with my Great Grandmother. I couldn't find a thing under her name and maybe because I was searching under Louise West, but I am pretty sure I tried Sara West too. Anyway you have all been so helpful because I wanted to have something for my family tree. My mom said she was a wonderful grandmother and I remember her vaguely. It is so nice that we can get help from you people because I have ancestry.ca but they didn't help at all with this situation. Keep up the great work. It is greatly appreciated.
