Birth Place of Alice Emma CLAYDEN

[hibiscusgirl]

I wonder if anyone can help me please. I'm trying to assist a friend who would like to know the maiden name of her grandmother, place of birth and any brothers and sisters she may have had.

The information I have already from my friend is
Grandmother called Alice Emma  or Emma Alice
Married surname Clayden
Died May 1963 aged about 70
therefore born around 1893

Last known address
56 Alexander Road
South Woodford
E18
London

Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

It's possible to find the maiden name from the birth registration of a child.

If you can give us the name of a child who is no longer living and what year/place he or she was born we can look up the birth.

Possiblity:

Marriages Sep 1913   
Clayden    William H    Gunn    Colchester   
Gunn    Emma A    Clayden    Colchester

Death Deaths Jun 1/4 1963   

CLAYDEN    ALICE E    74    ESSEX S.W.    5A   108

so birth now comes to 1888/ 1889-ish

I concur with the 1913 suggested marriage, subject to knowing names of kid(s)

Many thanks to all for your prompt information and all very helpful. I'm been absorbing the information and trying to remember how to reply to each person. (I haven't used this site for some time!) Perhaps I can't reply to each one.

You have certainly given me some leads and I will contact my friend to find out the name of a child to follow up that route.
