Find Ancestors

Hello trying to find more details on my nan Eliza Elizabeth Cupit born Stepney 1915, married Cyril Shapcott. Had 5 children with Cyril and 2 before. Trying to find more details on her siblings and family. My dad has passed and want to try and discover a bit more about his family. When she married she lived in Kennington, but may have lived in Halifax at one point and Stepney.

Welcome to Genes and the boards.

Someone with access to the 1921 census will do a lookup for you. But while you are waiting use the free website www.freebmd.org.uk You can use this to find other births in the years around your Nan and hopefully her parents marriage. You can register with the GRO for free and check mothers maiden names.
You can use the GRO to buy certificates - knowing her fathers name would help when looking at earlier census.
Added
Eliza is on a number of trees on Ancestry. In 1939 she is living with her widowed mother Eliza and younger brother David. The trees suggest there were 10 chikdren. Parents Robert & Eliza.
Check with your local library service as they may offer free access to Ancestry although you won’t be able to contact the tree owners.
