There were no replies on the other thread, so I've put a message on that it's a duplicate, along with a link to this one.

Malcolm - you really mustn't duplicate threads!

Have sent Malcolm a pm explaining what to do.

In the meantime, I have this info from him:

"What info do you want on her Malcolm?

When did she come over to here?
I think she left Canada age 3 ish

Did she come with family?
I think Tom Giddings came with her not sure who else

Did any of her marriages take place over here?
Both took place in england "
.............

I think he wants to know more about her early life in Canada, and here, and more about her parents and siblings, but I am sure he will be along soon to tell you himself.

Have had pm's from Malcolm:

"I think this is a record for Alice will check it out.

Things don't quite add up! :-S

Malcolm Sharpe says that Alice Maud Crowley (nee Giddin(g)s) married Percy Sharpe in 1946, and is his grandmother.

In 1946 she would have been 61 (and therefore past child-bearing age), so if she had any children with Percy then it must have been long before then.

I'm also struggling to find any marriage at any time between Percy Sharpe and an Alice Maud that fits the bill.

Malcolm, is one of Percy and Alice Maud's children your father? I'd suggest getting his birth certificate to see exactly what it says.

Malcolm, your offer in your opening post to look up records for canadian researchers implies you have access to Canadian records.

I presume therefore that you have Alice and her siblings birth records? If not, then let us know and I'll add them for you.
