Bertha Roeber Comrie family
« on: Sunday 09 February 14 15:53 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for help finding Bertha Roeber Comrie relatives She was born in 1914 and her father was John Comrie. I know that he was deceased in 1941 when she married Lionel Lawrence Mobbs. They lived in the Willesden London area. Lionel died in 1972 and from there the trail runs cold. I think there could possibly be a scottish connection. Any help would be gratefully received. Jenny

Do you know her mother's name, was there a link with New Zealand, what was her father's occupation?

I;ve found Bertha on the electoral register a few times before her marriage - once listed at Tooting Bec Hospital (nurses home perhaps given the number of females at the address) and for three years with a Michael and Eva Travers.

Eva's maiden name is Silberstein or Zilbersztajn.

Hello Jennifer, no I have no idea of her mothers name. I know Bertha was a nurse in 1936  and that her father John Comrie was a millwright. No clue about the New Zealand connection either. Jenny
