Lucy/May Harris (General)
We are trying to trace my grandmother, born December 23rd 1888. Lucy/May Harris.We are told in Cinderford or thereabouts.Her father James, George Harris, sometime gamekeeper then publican. Her mother died in childbirth and then she was brought up by her grandmother, a midwife in Woodstock Oxfordshire.
She always talked about Symonds Yat.Also she went into service at some time with the vicar of Monmouth.
