I'm looking for my Great Grandmother on my mother's side of the family, I don't know anything about her but my Grandmother was named Ellen Louisa Watkins, she married Patrick Hayes in December 1910 and they lived at 46 Campbell Road Islington,otherwise known as the Campbell Bunk. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find Great Grandma?

It might be best to order Ellen's BC to see how the mother is named and take it from there.

Do you have a copy of Ellen's MC? Who were the witnesses?
