Daryl Report 19 Jul 2010 21:33

trying to find details for a Cordelia Alice Brown, born sometime in the 1860-70's. I know she had a daughter called Alice Louise Brown who was born in 1882 and then either remarried or found a new partner - William Austen with whom she had a daughter Violet Maud born in 1897. she was buried in Yalding, as was Alice Louise and Violet Maud married an Edward Charles Humphrey. I know she also had at least one son, possibly three - any help would be gratefully appreciated

Oh dear !

Pity you didn't stay online - I asked that question 5 minutes after you posted.

Best thing to do is get Alice Louise's birth certificate, that will give confirm for you mother's maiden name

MaureeninNY

MaureeninNY Report 20 Jul 2010 03:22

Yes,Daryl,do get Alice Louisa's birth certificate.
I'm pretty sure that the mother is (Cordelia) Alice Webb,but it's best to be certain.
