I'm not connected to this family in anyway, Jade Hadaway, but reading this thread I see from your posts that you are having trouble finding your nanna Nora Layfield, nee Foxcroft.
Nora appears to have been 11/12 years older than husband John Laverick Layfield (married 1955).
Nora Foxcroft's birth was registered in Dec.qtr.1920 Skipton - mothers maiden name Crabtree.
Nora Layfield bc.1921 died 28/10/2007 Barnoldswick - this ties in with the birth entry.
However, you might want to get Nora and John's marriage certificate to confirm the name of her father as there were 2 couples named Foxcroft/Crabtree marrying in Skipton just 3 years apart!
Harry Armistead Foxcroft married a Polly Crabtree 1916 - there is 1 public tree on Ancestry which shows Nora was their child
however
Irving Foxcroft married a Sarah Crabtree 1919 - there are 3 trees on Ancestry which show that Nora was their child!! I would lean towards this being correct as they have a full birthdate for Nora and show that she'd married and had a daughter (although no details of them given). Nora's birthdate 19/11/1920 and trees confirm she died 2007.
Hope this helps you.
