Can you tell us your Great-Nan's name - married and maiden?
Jan

Raymond, it might make it easier for us to help if you tell us more about your great-nan.

Where/when she was born, who she married, etc.

We can then look at records in the correct context.

Long shot, with very little information, but here goes.
I am trying to trace any family members of a Miss/Mrs D A Phillips of Liverpool Road Islington. Her details are on my Great Nans death certificate in 1948 as being the informant., she is listed as my Great Nans daughter which to me is new news but I supoose in could mean daughter in law? or it might have been a birth after 1911 I have no knowledge about..
See if anyone has an thoughts please.
