Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 25 Send Message	I have now solved the mystery thank you to my Grandad' Cousin who i found on here, he sent me a photo of a Mary Sykes who he knew had children Edward (my Grandad) and Kenneth. As soon as I showed my Mum the photo she said said yes that is definitely Grandma Sykes. So she was Mary not Annie.

Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 25 Send Message	I have ordered my Grandad's birth certificate so hopefully should have an answer on this.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Wendy, it's not impossible that two sisters married Sykes but without that certificate (order it from GRO) you'll probably never get to the bottom of it.

Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 25 Send Message	Will do as I'm at a loss now as she has always been known as Annie in the family.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	.. so she could have been Mary?
Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 25 Send Message	Wendy	Report	18 Feb 2013 19:32
Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 25 Send Message	As Annie is my Grandad's (Edward) Mother, I've asked my Mum what she called her and it was always Grandma Sykes.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	So it was the older sister Mary who married the Sykes, not Annie?
Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 33,475 Send Message	GlitterBaby	Report	18 Feb 2013 19:29
	Why do you think it was Annie that married a Sykes ?
