Hi Wendy

Good to see you found your way back to your thread.

I think the marriage cert is the best way to go......so that you can find out who her Father was.

The best place to purchase Certificates, is online here...........

Think I was barking up the wrong tree with Thomas Winter and Edith Keep!!

Alice Mary def married Charles H W Graves in 1936 and Edward Sprague (My Grandad)in 1961
Her date of birth was 04.03.1907
She lived in Uffculme in the 50's
Hadn't thought that the surname may not have a 'D'

Possibly so, but no suitable Alice Mary elsewhere either.

I am just wondering if Wendy is assuming that Alice was born in Devon because that is where she married??

You need to get one of her marriage certificates for the name of her Father.
