Hi rose, as far as my dad aware, Vera's marriage to Keith was her only marriage. I think I will have to get his death cert to see if Ruth was the informant. Thankyou for your help and replies.
Regards.

If you get Keith's death cert. she might be the informant. Might also list her married name and address.

Keith Owen Smith married in Northamptonshire in 1962. Are you sure it was Vera's first marriage? She would have been 33.

Were Nellie and Sid Halls or Smiths?

Hello. Yes, but am not able to find anyone, either on my shared trees, or on the wider site.

Have you looked to see if anyone has her or her family on their tree on here?

I wonder if anyone can help?? I am trying to find Ruth Smith (awful name to research I know!) We used to play together when we were children and she used to visit her grandparents (Nellie and Sid), who lived in the same street as I did. Her grandmother was my fathers Auntie on his paternal side. This is the information I have. Ruths mother was VERA HALL (1929-1973) and her father was KEITH SMITH (1938-2000) Ruth was born in the mid 1960's in the Essex area (from information my dad can remember) Now, the only record I can find for that time, is a Marion Ruth Smith, born 1966 in Saffron Walden, with the birth mothers maiden name of Hall (which would be right. I would love to be able to trace her and find out how her life has been. If any more info needed please ask and I will find out what i can
