Having difficulty in obtaining any info or links to do with my late grandmothers side of the family. Agnes job(maiden name Hughes). DOB 03/12/1908 married 1938 to Victor R Job. Death july 1994. Her siblings were called Alice who married Ted & emigrated to South Africa and both died their ,no children. Nancy Married (Ward), 1 child Doris all have since died., they lived in the Basildon area. Ellen married Ted(Cressey), no children & have since died. They also resided within the London area. Their was a brother i believe called Richard but died young but had been married and had children but no contact since his death. The Hughes famiy either came from Essex/london way. Cannot recollect the great grandparents names being mentioned much around me. My great grandfather i believe ran a fishmarket stall/ or was connected in some way to this livelihood. Would appreciate any info that anyone may able to help me with eg birth records, marriage records or any other connections
