Elizabeth Ryles was indeed my grandmother and the child she had with Leonard, is my mum :) As for Dora..... we don't know anything about her at all other than she appears on the marriage certificate of Leonard and Elizabeth as the person to who Leonard had obtained a divorce, but it states her...

Yes, I edited my post immediately afterwards, noticing that the maths DID in fact work out :D He was from Hackney, although he married my nanna in North Wales - but I believe they moved back down to London as my mum was brought up in the High Wycombe area. I can only assume that his first...

Hi :) I've just received a copy of my nanna and Grandad's marriage certificate after ordering it online (my mum could never remember the exact date of their marriage and I want to get married on the same date this year as I'm using my nanna's wedding ring!) Anyway, very little is known about...

Just wanted to say hi as I have just registered here at FHUK as my step dad is keen to find out more about his family tree and I realised that this can become a very expensive hobby and a little difficult too! I thought I would be able to search copies of births, deaths and marriages or the...
