Elsie Winifred Squire was born in Devon 1899 / 1900.
In 1911 she is in Wrexham with her parents Sydney F and Susan, and siblings.
In Dec qtr 1924 she married Henry H Blyth in Wrexham.
It was a civil marriage. In March qtr 1925 a Sidney A (Albert? ) is born in Worcester district, mmn Squire.
In 1939 Elsie Winifred Blyth is in Bristol , Married and with her Single brother Charles E.
No sign of her husband or son Sidney.
Elsie Winifred Blyth died 1974 Bristol.
A Sidney Albert Blyth died 1989 in Bristol with the right age.
My problem is that I don't know the full name of Henry H Blyth . As this is for a local history story research I'm not willing to buy the marriage certificate.
Ive been all round the houses trying to find him, but can't be sure of any.
Just hoping that there might be something out there that I've missed.
Thanks
