Hi, I have just joined and am looking forward to hopefully making contact with my relatives and starting a family tree! My maternal grandmother was Maud, she was born (May?)1886 or 1887, she died 30.3.1953 and is buried in Kidderminster cemetary.Her father was Scottish,her mother Irish.(One of her siblings had a daughter, Vera, around 1919. Vera married a Mr Hurst,from USA. Vera lived in Golden,Colorado, until her death in 2005. She had 2 children, Michelle and Kevin who would still be there.) I think Maud's dad was James Russell,her mum was Isabella/Esabella. Maud was born in Warwick,she lived at 40 Webster St.,Aston Manor with her parents and siblings, Flo,Arthur, Lilian, and Ivy in 1901.At the time, she worked as a warehouse gale. She married Rowland (in 1918?) Rowland was born in July, we think in Warwick in 1880,he was living at 61 Oakfield Road Balsall Heath in 1901. He worked for Rolls Royce (turner on motors)They had one daughter,my mum Joan Mary, born 31.5.1919. They lived at Acocks Green at some point.Joan married G tomegno, my dad, in Italy.After Maud's death,Rowland moved to Italy to live with us. He died in Milan,29.1.61, and was buried there. Later on, I think 1976, his body was brought to England, and now he is buried in the same plot as Maud.Some of this info may not be 100pc correct.Any information at all, relating to them their ancestors, family living now etc, would be very gratefully received,many thanks!
