xlouisexroderx,

Yes you need your grandma's death cert as it usually gives the maiden name for a woman.
especially if she was adopted..

Did she know she was adopted.???

UPDATE applied for her adoption cert with no luck they searched both names summers and coles and they didnt have it on record. So i have emailed the records in london and bournmouth to see if they have any ideas. : )
