Hi can anyone help me as i am useless! I am looking to find out about my great grandmother Winifred Wynn born 1895. I need to know who her mother was so that i can trace back. I have no idea where she was born although as a young lady she lived in London ( Lambeth i think) her father was William wynn, apparently an actor. Someone did a lookup for me and said they couldnt find them on the census. can anyone help me....please...please!!! Thanks.

Sandra, heres what i know so far. Winifred Kathleen Wynn born 1895 (poss Feb) Father called William Wynn. Dont know who her mother was. Winifred married Albert Alfred Charman in 1926 in London and they had a daughter Vivienne rita Charman in the same year. She died in 1961 in Lambeth. On her marriage cert is her fathers name but its her mother i am looking for. Not sure i can order a birth cert if i dont know where she was born and i dont know if Winifred had brothers os sisters. I am stuck.
