Yes, it'd be easier to search with at least father's name. This appears to be your Grandmother in 1939 (Number 13 is written over the 8 on her date of birth):

Spewens Household (6 People) Chungates Ellington Road , Eton R.D., Buckinghamshire, England

Mary (T) Law (Coates,Fitzgerald) 08 Oct 1908 Female Paid Domestic Dutie Single
John E Spewens 11 Sep 1907 Male Managing Director Hewers Chau Mans Married
Madeline J Spewens 05 Jul 1909 Female Unpiad Domestic Duties Married
Clarice M Hewens 02 Oct 1875 Female Private Means Widowed
Florence Hidges 07 May 1869 Female Private Means Widowed
Dorothy A Meads 08 Aug 1914 Female Paid Domestic Duties Single

Yes- she is first listed as Fitzgerald in 1939 and was single.

Then there was a name change to Coates (Date of notification for change could be 24/11/50- although not sure about the 50)

Then there was another notification of name change to LAW 17/12/56

Thank you AustinQ.

I really don't know where I am going with this thread...!

It's difficult without parent names. I'm still not sure I've understood the information:

Mary Teresa Fitzgerald born 1908 New York

Mary had brothers, Paddy and Tommy (Patrick & Thomas?) and sisters Elizabeth and Eily May. These siblings were all born Kerry, Ireland.

Sister Eily May married Joe Glavin.

Do we have dates of birth for the siblings?

Thank You AustinQ...I will have a look at the US connection..don't know if MaryT was the youngest or what.....but given the approx. age of Eily Mai Fitzgerald Galvin when she died 1996..(Joe was only 62 in 1987) it would put her abt. early 70s ..birth being the 1920s.

Fitzgerald was her maiden name .. my maiden name is Coates after my mother freda patricia Coates, she was born 1/2/1943 my grandmother married in 1956 to Jim law in Maidenhead,, this is a real can of worms trying to unravel were roots are :-S

Angela....What we need to know is what Mary Theresa parents Christian names were...Her fathers name will be on her Marriage Cert or both parents names on her Birth Cert /Baptismal Cert

Angela....What you need to do is send for your grandmothers Marriage Cert to Mr Law.
Do you have any idea at all when Eily Mai married Thomas Galvin...?

Eily mai was Mary teresa fitzgeralds sister, eily may married Joe galvin,, Mary was my nan eily may and Joe were my great uncle and aunt,, they have siblings Patrick Joseph known as pj. Patricia Mary and tommy galvin.. the girls I don't know there married names but p j married moira Barry in 1980 to 82 roughly she died in lixnaw last year if I could find them I would get my information about my nan,and maybe relatives linking to new York her birthplace

Angela ..Do you know if Tom Galvin (Bro of Joe) married an Annie Leen..?
