Afternoon folks

I am seeking assistance with regards to Ethel Brierley 1920, Burnley, Lancashire. Ethel is the daughter of John Brierley and Mabel Foster. I am trying to ascertain whether Ethel married and if so when and where.

Many thanks

Have you tried to contact the other member who has her in his tree?

Have you got her exact date of birth - to look for possible deaths?

As there are quite a few Ethel's born in the area you may need more information - how is she related to you?

Thank-you

Mark
