Trying to trace above. Born Jan/Feb/Mar 1930 - Bristol.
Mothers maiden name Marion D Jameson possibly known as Doris?
Father George T Marston from Leicester.
Parents divorced.
Grace possibly evacuated to America so may have stayed there?
Maternal grandparents ran a public house called Five Horseways? St Pauls Road, Portsmouth?
Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Linda

ArgyllGran
Thanks, the 1927 publican matches as was told he only sold beer, not spirits as he had a stroke and couldn't measure out the spirits.

Rambling Rose
Thanks, The 'A' may stand for Annie as it was her paternal grandmothers name.

Have you searched for Grace in member's trees on this site?

There's a Robert who has Grace in his tree and he also appears to have the husband from the marriage that Ricochet found.

If you get Grace's birth certificate for exact date of birth, it may be useful in confirming a death - though we hope she is still alive.

Wow, thank you for all your replies and help. I will search more with the info you've given me. Aunt Edna Marston taped bits from her life and family life, (one of 9 children, its made really interesting listening) in which she gave us the name of the beer house but I couldn't quite catch the name but Five Alls sounds right. We did wonder if Marion re-married so I'll check that out too. Was hoping to find Grace alive... Many thanks :-D

A son from that marriage born 1956 Exeter..........is on Facebook.

Using the married surname.........Google...... Grace A ********

She comes up on the electoral roll.

There does not appear to be any other marriages using those surname combinations.......so there are possible 3 further children born to that marriage.

One set of twins in 1965..........checking back on Facebook, the male twin is a "Friend" to the brother born in 1956.

(Using the shortened version of his Christian name......Chris)
