i would guess the one at charles the martyr plymouth as her husband and his family were all baptised at charles the martyr OR the one at east stonehouse as her daughter was born there so in answer to your question, i dont know!

i am not guessing reg, i know that i have seen it written down on a certificate. as i dont have any death cert, it must have been the birth or marriage. Im doing this for my mum as shes seriously ill and she has the certs 200 miles away from me, so i cant go and confirm that until half term. thanks for helping

You need to see the cert.........guessing is not a good idea. Especially when other people are involved in looking for info for you Reg
