Can anyone help me find details of Elsie Johnson (my grandmother). We think her family arrived in Buxton from Derby. I know she had a sister Doris and a brother Ernie but very little else. As far as I know, she was born on 2nd April 1912 . She married Frank Mason in 1938 and went on to have 5 children.

Jane,

You need to get your grandmother's marriage certificate. This will give you the names of her parents.

The marrige cert will only give Jane her fathers name not her parents


Jane do you know the ages of Doris and Ernest please ?

Thank you all very much for these, folks it gives me something to go on. June, I don't know the ages of Ernest or Doris but hope to talk to some more relatives to hopefully find out more. I think I will obtain their marriage certificate as it will certainly add some information.
