Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to find information on my grandmother and her family. I don't know where she was born only when which is 1890 her name is Edith Hilda Smith. She married my grandfather Bertie Williamson in leicester sometime around 1909 but not sure. My Mum has now passed away so I am unable to ask any questions relating to her.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

UPDATE PLEASE HELP

I am also having problems finding info about James Smith both he and Leah. I have only been able to trace back to the 1891 census can not find any info on their parents at all also can't find birth records for either of them. Please could any one help on this subject..Thanks

Thanks for the information from everyone. It has been very much appreciated thanks to you all for your help and willingness to do this for me.

Hi

I believe I am related. Leah Lemon (actually changed to Lemmon) was my grandfather Joseph's sister. My grandfather emigrated to NZ along with at least one brother Frederick.
The info I have is that Leah married Jim Smith (lived in Bournmouth) and had 5 children - Lizzie, Edith, Ruth, John and Frank.
Leah was born 12.12.1885, died approx. 1948.

Hi. I am a relation. Your grandmother's mother was Leah Lemmon (married Jim Smith). Leah was my grandfather Joseph Lemmon's sister. Joseph was the youngest of 13 children, Leah was 2nd oldest. Their parents were Joseph Lemmon b. 1838 at Leicester and Eliza Spence b. 1844 at Enderby. There was a name change from Lemon.
I have a full family tree in Word if you wish to contact me. I live in NZ. My mother thinks your grandmother may have visited NZ in the 50's
