Erin Report 30 Sep 2012 11:20

Hi, Is there anyone who can help me locate details of my nans parents? My nans name, as you can see above was Gladys Dora Palmer and she was born in 1912 in Axbridge, Somerset. I can see from her birth record her mothers maiden name was Godding. she died in Weston super mare in 1991. My mum doesn't have any info on them as I belive they dies when she was quite young.

Any help would be gratefully recieved :-D
