Just to add we are still looking for the Aunt Mrs. Nora Hammond maiden name "Last" from Montreal Canada
she must of taken Peggy Grimwood (b.1917) to Canada when her mother died in 1934.
Has anyone any information on Peggy leaving the UK in 1934 to Canada?

I had kinda thought of the childbirth complication as Micheal and his mother died in the same month, Thats so sad. I wonder if to send for her death cert just to see what happened?
