Can anyone help find my nan's maiden name.she was born 4th Aug 1900..She married James Mccormack about 1923 In Watford Herts My Nans 1st name was Millicent..None of my family members can remember it. My Nan was born in Watford. Maureen

what about this one Record Alfred Adolphus Case abt 1876 Poplar, London, England Head Toddington Bedfordshire View Record Lilian Maud Case abt 1900 Swineshead, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Toddington Bedfordshire ===View Record Millicent Ellen Case abt 1900 St Albans, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Toddington Bedfordshire View Record Sophia Emma Case abt 1873 Swineshead, Bedfordshire, England Wife Toddington Bedfordshire 4 prince Street head a builder Lilian is 1month old or this Flora Ewer abt 1878 Bushey, Hertfordshire, England Wife Watford Hertfordshire View Record Joseph Ewer abt 1878 Watford, Hertfordshire, England Head Watford Hertfordshire ===View Record Millicent F Ewer abt 1898 Watford, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Watford Hertfordshire View Record Louis J Hill abt 1877 St Albans, Hertfordshire, England Boarder Watford Hertfordshire View Record Charlotte Rogers abt 1817 Watford, Hertfordshire, England Wife's Grand Mother Watford Hertfordshire 53 Pinner Street head Carman

If your Nan is your mother's mother, then the easiest way to find out is to get your mother's birth certificate (I'm sure you will know her birthday) and this will have her mother's maiden name on it. In fact you won't need to buy the certificate, as the GRO index for your mother's birth certificate will have her mother's maiden name. If you give your mother's full maiden name and birthdate I'll have a look for you. Kath. x

There is this one on freebmd Births Sep 1900 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Millicent Mary Watford 3a 750 Gen

Gary The one born in 1900 is the gran.............Kath's asking about the mother's birth date. Reg

Gary, It's the Nan who was born c. 1900. Nan's daughter or son (whichever is Maureen's parent) will be born after 1911 and will therefore have mother's maiden name in the index. Kath. x

Snap Reg, lol Think Maureen must have posted and then gone to bed. Kath. x

No not gone to bed yet LOL My mum's name was Eva Mary mccormack born 17/7/1920

Reg

Hi Reg None of the names you mentioned are my Nan she was born 4th Aug 1900. Same age as the Queen mother,I remember seeing my nan's name in the local paper celebrating the same birthday as the Queen mother but not sure what age.I don't know if my nan was born in Watford,I know my great grandmother (my nan's mum) lived in Watford in Durban road west.I don't know what her name was either.I only remember seeing my g grandmother once and I was only about 14 at the time. I do know there is a Norwood somewhere in the family but wasn't sure where. Maureen

Clearly, you need to purchase the birth cert for McCormick whose details Kathleen posted.....you aren't going to get anywhere without some hard facts on which to work. Good luck Reg

There's this Milicent, spelt with one 'l'. Unfortunately she is living with her Aunt in 1901. You might need to try and find her marriage certificate to get her age. Births Dec 1896 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Norwood Milicent Leighton B 3b 404 1901. Dorah M Norwood abt 1896 Dagnell, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter Edlesborough Buckinghamshire Edward A Norwood abt 1897 Dagnell, Buckinghamshire, England Son Edlesborough Buckinghamshire .................>Milicent Norwood abt 1897 Dagnell, Buckinghamshire, England Niece Edlesborough Buckinghamshire Sarah A Norwood abt 1865 Northallerton, Buckinghamshire, England Head Edlesborough Buckinghamshire

I made a boo boo on my grandads name he should be Robert and not James. James was my mum's brother.All the rest info is correct. I will get my mum's birth certificate in the new year.Maureen Merry Christmas to you all..Maureen

No wonder I couldn't find a marriage...........I looked through 1917 to 1920 inclusive on 1837online for a JAMES McCormick................ Reg

Hi Reg.. Sorry I had company this afternoon,only just got back to read the messages....No ive not got the birth certificate,I will get one after Christmas...My nan was definately born 4th Aug 1900..Maureen

I actually asked if you had the death cert................I realise you can't have the birth cert, or you wouldn't be asking people to find out her maiden surname. Reg
