The marriage cert would give you details about her Father.

Look for the birth on freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Then for the marriage of the parents on the same site

Nor am I.................

Purchasing the birth cert is the way to get factual info

Just post-WW1......so maybe mother married before

Or the marriage was outside of England/Wales

Or there wasn't a marriage......................

PricklyHolly Report 29 May 2013 12:27

Perhaps Falce was an error and it should read Felce?

If that's the case.........Possibly a brother........
