There is a passenger list to New York giving a last address of 67 Church Road, Tilehurst, Reading in June 1947 and she gives her age as 27.  Also 3 children one named after father.

Yea that's her... She came here with my mother and her brother and sister...  I'm sure that's where she was living after they married.  My mother seems to remember Harry being on the marriage certificate.  She also said that my Grandfather never met her father or mother...

I'm limited to Ancestry.com over here for research.... Can't see a whole lot.  Are there any other sites or databases I should look at?

Hi Biscuit

I am sorry but we have a 'no living people' policy here so the post will have to be edited.

There is a birth registered June qtr 1919, Pontypool which looks interesting.

Because of the "No Living Persons" policy, you'll have to look it up yourself?
Try FreeBMD.org.uk!


Can I just add: my grandmother was a "Ciceley" and was often called "Cissie"!!

[biscuit1971]

Ok well thanks so much for the help.... I guess once she does her secrets die with her and I can start over.   . I'll check out the link.

That's simply not true!

You can use:
FreeBMD.org.uk (and sister sites (FreeCEN and FreeREG)
FamilySearch

Many pay sites let you see their indexes free (I use FindMyPast this way!).


Finally, can I reiterate?
You need to be very sensitive here.
Obviously your grandmother doesn't want people to know her past?
She may feel ashamed about it?
Especially if, as I suspected, she was born illegitimate?

Tread very carefully!


P.S. How did you come by the information that she was a Didcock?
