Hello carol As you have an exact date of her birth would you know the name of her parents? I could have a look at the 1871 census for them all for you and hope to find her. Much happiness debi

Hi carol Do you know when your fathers grandmother was born? I think you need to start working backwards from your father by obtaining his birth cert. If his father is unknown concentrate on his mothers parents. All those names in the family bible will start to fall into your jigsaw puzzle as you gradually work backwards the tree will grow and spread branches and twigs for you. Much happiness Debi
