Hello Everyone,
|wave| I am very new to all of this, I only started tracing my family tre a few weeks ago, and have come up against a brick wall already!!
I'll tell you my problem and hopefully someone will have some advice for me!
|help|
My mum never knew her grandparents on either side of the family, they had died before she was born.
We have a lot of family in Canada, and I have found out certain things from them. The problem is, everyone remembers my Great grandmothers maiden name as Ellison! but had no idea what my great Grandad's name was, we know his surname was Paul, so i went to get a copy of my nan's bith certificate and was told that the maiden name was wrong!!:confused:
I checked the cencus and it turns out that the Maiden surname recorded for my nan's mother was Wivell. I also checked my great Aunt (nan's sister) and her's was the same!
The only thing we can conclude, Is that we knew she had been married before and widowed, could Wivell be her 1st married name do you think? I don't know where to go from here. I still haven't recieved a copy of my nan's b' certificate as there is a back log |banghead|
