Hi
I am trying to find my Grandmother, which I believe was born in Shrewsbury in approx 1896, married at St Chads in 1915 to Alfred Jones. No parents were on the marriage certificate for Gladys. Can anyone help please.

My Grandmother was called Gladys Williams on the marriage certicate but on her death certificate she was Gladys May Jones, and she is buried at Shrewsbury Cemetary.

I feel that she is the daughter of Charles and Mary.
