NUDGE UP

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?

yes its fantastic, thanks to everyone that helped !!!!! :-)

A result. Well done Julie.

Hi Tracy !!!!
I will PM you

Hi Julie. Received your mail. I am the grandaughter of Anthony Grimwood. I am now Tracy Oldham { Needham}
Now living in Eastwood Notts. Anthonys wife Violet is now 76 and fairly well. The rest of Anthonys family are also in this area. Regards Tracy.

Still waiting for replys on emails .....

no messages yet .........

Fingers crossed for you.

Looks like Marjorie who died in the March quarter 1934 is the same as the Birth of Michael Grimwood March quarter 1934. She died in childbirth or from complications I guess. So this must of been when the children went to the orphanage in Nottingham.
I now have some tree matches so have sent out messages, so fingers crossed we will find some living relations.

Nora is travelling to Montreal to a friend (via New York) -
