Good Evening Kirsty,can i try and give my Ggrandmother a bash? lol

She has completely slipped off the radar.after my Ggrandfather deserted her, i know she was alive up untill 1928 as i have Sunday Paper pictures of her in bed!! after that she apparently moved in with an elderly gentleman but i can't find a second marriage or death?she must be out there somewhere..

Ada Mary Brown maiden name Summerfield born 1874 Chipping Sodbury, she apparently stayed in Bath,Somerset..

What are the chances with this one.?

gillxx ( emailed you regarding the other matter!)plus her in bed..just for a giggle,need one at the moment!!
