*COMPLETED* First names unknown: HILL/HUGHES

[WoodElf]

Recently I have been researching my grandmother's family but have not had much luck. I am having difficultly finding out my grandmother's parents first names. My grandmother's name was Doris Ada Hill b. 15 Aug 1911 in Edmonton, England. On Ancestry it says that her mother's maiden name was Hughes. I only know the names of two of my grandmother's siblings, Olive Hill and Gladys Kathleen Hill (b. 1908, Edmonton, England). I do not know the first names of my great-grandparents. Any advice would be gladly appreciated. Thanks. 

P.S. Grandmother and all siblings are dead.

Think you will have to get a Birth Cert to ascertain parents names .... going back as far as 1891, there's no Hill / Hughes combination (male / female) marriages in Edmonton at least ...

You can order online from the GRO for £7.00

Thanks Newf for your prompt reply. My mother is trying to contact a cousin Nina in England about the family, so in the mean time all the help I can get is great. Thanks, I will be going on the GRO website very soon!

Just thought you ought to know that I have unravelled the mystery. My dad found a sheet of paper with their first names on it:

- William George Hill
- Ada Harriet Hughes

I found out that they were not married in Edmonton but Northamptonshire in 1891. They were living in Northamptonshire for a while but then moved to Edmonton. I also discovered the names of several children. Thanks newf (for hinting that they were not married in Edmonton)..
