Find Ancestors

I am trying to find details about Edith Frances Rhoda Furniss who I believe was born in 1882 at Pattishall/Fosters Booth, Northamptonshire - and died in 1958. I believe she married Robert William Bodily (1876-1938/48), sometime between 1900 and 1906.

I would appreciate any information about her, her husband and her family (parents and children).

Thank you,
Frederick

Hello Frederick and welcome to the Community boards.




(I'll let Frederick know how to return to his replies) :-)

My grandmother was Edith's sister.
Her name was Mary Ann Elizabeth Furniss. She married my Grandfather in 1913.
His name was William John Norris.
Just starting my family tree so the information on the board is great. :-)
