I would like to find info on my grandmother Gladys Margaret May Jeremy, she was born in Thornberry, Bristol area but was bought up by her aunt. I do not know her name but her son was Maurice Stone. She was born 1900-1901 and later married my grandad John Stone b.1888 d.1971. My name died in 1981 in Hastings. She lived for many years in Robertsbridge, had 4 daughters.
