Find Ancestors

Maria was my grandads younger sister. I can only find birth details so thought she had died in childhood. Recently my eldest brother told me that she had married an English officer in the Indian Army and after his army service lived in France. They had a bakery shop, but dont know whereabouts in France. My brother met her and her husband in about 1936/7 when they visited England. He said it is a vivid memory because she gave him two of the biggest marbels he had ever seen. If any one can shine any light I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
