I THINK MY GRANDAD'S DAD (CHARLES GEORGE EDWARD MILLER) DIED IN THE WAR, POSSIBLY IN 1921, AND HIS FRIEND PROMISED TO TRY AND LOOK AFTER HER (EVA JOHNSON/MILLER) WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM THE WAR, AND THIS IS WHO SHE POSSIBLY MARRIED, SO THIS COULD BE WHERE HER 2ND MARRIAGE WAS,

Tracey

Tracey Report 28 Nov 2007 23:40

Tracey Report 28 Nov 2007 23:10

MY GREAT GRAN WAS A LADY, AND FOR 1 REASON OR ANOTHER HAD TO DE-NOUNCE HER TITLE, MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE SHE RE-MARRIED OR THAT SHE HAD MARRIED A 'COMMONER'. HER PICTURE IS IN THE 'DOVER CASTLE', I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE GOT HER TITLE, OR WHO SHE WAS RELATED TO, ANY INFO WOULD BE OF HELP.
HER NAME IS EVA ELIZABETH JOHNSON WHICH I BELIEVE WAS HER MAIDEN NAME, ONE OF HER OTHER NAMES WAS MILLER, ( WHICH IS MY GRANDAD'S NAME), SHE HAD 6 CHILDREN, WHO EVENTUALLY ENDED UP IN CARE, SHE WAS BORN IN 1895, AND MARRIED A CHARLES MILLER, WHO WAS BORN IN 1890,
MY GRANDAD ALSO HAS SCOTTISH TIES, ALTHOUGH I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THAT COMES FROM HIS MOTHER OR FATHER, PLEASE HELP ME..............................................
