Trying to find a birth record for a NORA LOUISE GRANT and mothers maiden name?

Aprox yr of birth 1920 in Devon area.

Thanks

Do you know who Nora married?

The nearest match is a Nora L born 1919 Portsmouth, she appears to marry a Hargreaves in 1940.

It's the only reasonable one, mmn Bushnell. But Portsmouth is in Hampshire, not Devon.

Sorry everybody with xmas not had chance to say hanks or carry on with this thread.

Nora Louise Grant's married name was Layton.

Possible marriage of the parents of the Nora that PorkiePie found?/

Her marriage certificate should confirm the father's name.

I did follow Amos Walter Grant through his army records but could not tie him up to a child called Norah who I could follow through......... whereas, Horatio did have a child called Norah born 1st June, 1913 and she fits with the death found by Christine under the name Layton.

It is looking very good?

There are also other siblings for Nora.

thank you all. xx
