My Grandmother was born on 23rd June 1913. Her name was Catherine Crooke but I can not locate her in any records. Any ideas where else I should be looking??

Get in touch with the cemetary that she is buried in they may hold additional records that will assist you in your search...

As Catherine died after 1969, her death certificate should give her date and place of birth (ie. town ). This is only ever as good as the informant's knowledge but sometimes gives a good clue re. where to search for a birth record. Gwyn
