Find Ancestors

I am trying to find any infomation on my Great Grandmothers sister or parents, her parents were called Florence and Arthur Smith and they ran a saw mill in Badsley Southampton, they had 5 daughters Dorothy,Vera,Ivy,Ruby Violet (my great gran) born 1910 and Gwen probebly born 1913. Dorothy married a William Snooks or snook...Vera married a Sidney Gee, Ivy married a Reg Rodgers, my gran Ruby married Cyril Tinson King and Gwen married a Arthur Sweed. They all lived down south I think and I think they are all now dead. My great grandmother died 3 years ago. Anybody help please. Pippa Cant

Still searching for any info on them. My Great Grandmother lost touch with them all, after falling out!

This might be better on the Living Relatives board
