Just to rule out the Grace Darling Cameron in the 1911 posted speculatively by Malyon -

Grace Darling Cameron was born in Campbeltown, Argyll in 1888 (even though the 1911 says she was born in Portsmouth).

CAMERON
GRACE DARLING
F
1888
507/ 191
Campbeltown


She married a male nurse named Laurence White in 1913 in Lewes, Sussex.
Laurence (Lawrence) is nursing with her in 1911, at same hospital.
Lived in Haywards Heath in 1914, per Laurence's army record.
She died in Sussex in 1956, still with surname White.
Aged 68 at death, therefore born 1888. Administration to Laurence White.

Had three children in Cuckfield, Sussex in 1914, 1915, 1919

Have you thought about taking a DNA test like the ones from Ancestry or 23andMe?

That might be your best bet.

Oh dear.............

Over and out

Quite a lot of research done already on an earlier thread:

https://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1320409

As Grace was a relative of yours, are you in touch with her son Keerran V?

Does he not know anything about his mother's origins?

He married in Buckinghamshire in 1965, the quarter before his father's death.
As at 2008 he was living in Dorset. His exact address at that time is shown on Ancestry.

He was still living in Dorset in 2013, per 192.com.

His phone number and present address (in the same village as in 2008) are in BT's online phonebook.

Would a birth certificate for one of her children indicate if she had been previously married? It just seems that, in those days 38 was a bit unusual for the birth of a first child.

Grace's death, purely for info

It rather looks as though he was 'between' wives when he fathered Yvonne and her brother, unless the marriage took place somewhere other than England/Wales

Cameron is, of course, a predominantly Scottish surname

He was registered in St Vincent's Hospital, Uxbridge in 1947 and 1948 ER's

I am having a great deal if trouble finding anything about this relative, I do not know where she was born or who her parents were. I think that she was born about 1890 and that she died in Aylesbury in 1934 aged 44yrs. The informant was Keeran Devery her said husband but I cannot find any marriage record. She had a daughter Yvonne and Keeran. But that is all I know. I would be grateful if anyone could help. Many Thanks Tonia
