Waters family of Middleton Cheney - looking for anyone with connections

[Germander Speedwell]

Hello all,

I'm researching Alice Waters, born in 1897 in Middleton Cheney, near Banbury (this village may have come under Northamptonshire at the time).  She worked as a nurse and died in 1934 in Rotherhithe. She was one of about 12 children; her mother's name was Clara, I don't have her father's name to hand, but just ask if you need more details to identify her. I'm looking for anyone with a family connection to her who knows more about her and/or her immediate family than just the dates, as I'm hoping to share information.

From searching previous messages I believe there is at least one member who has this Waters family in their family tree, however as a new member I can't send private messages yet!

This is part of research on South Wharf Receiving Station, Rotherhithe, and the people who worked there.

Many thanks,

Germander

Hello both,

Thanks for your replies and advice; thanks especially for the recommendation of the surname interests board - I didn't know about this, and it sounds very useful.

Regards,
