Alfred Sebert was born in 1895 so he was much older than Grace!

OK, this isle of Wight record gives her surname as both Sanders and Benton NOT Spanner.

1924 SPANNER Percy William SANDERS, BENTON Lillie Frances Register Office,
Nonconformist or RC Church RO78/101

Have tried in vain to find a marrriage Spanner to Sanders (the first marriage) - your best bet is get the birth cert for Grace which will give you her fathers name or her wedding cert which will also give his occupation

No obviously not as they are actually one and the same person
Rosina Isabel Hardy born 1889 Jun Q Isle of wight 2b 639 so is it another Alfred Mew w are looking for and who did he marry?

GillianMac

GillianMac Report 18 May 2011 15:03

There is a marriage in 1929 Dec Q Isle of Wight 2b 1647
of an Alfred J Mew but he seems to have TWO brides
Isabel Hardy and Rosina I Hardy
Are these daughters of the Hardy /Spanner marriage and if so which one did he marry?

Gosh! I'm confused on this one. Can you reiterate who married a Mew and who married a Saunders?

Astra

Astra Report 18 May 2011 13:44

You're saying that Lillie had a daughter Grace in 1912 when she was 16?
When did she marry Alfred Mew??

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 18 May 2011 13:43

The 1921 marriage that Glitter posted gives Lily Florence's father's name as Frederick Herbert Spanner, clerk. Certainly looks like yours!

But there isn't a birth of Grace Sanders with mother's maiden name Spanner.

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 18 May 2011 13:31

A second marriage for Lillie? Curiously marrying a Spanner so reverting to her maiden name!
