Hilda Maude Smith - born Dursley 1892 (General)

by Paul Beard @, Saturday, September 11, 2010, 17:50 (5192 days ago)

Grandmother, of who I only know that she was born in Dursley in March 1892 and died in Hersham, Surrey on 6th June 1943. Her parents were William Smith (born 1856 died?) and Elizabeth F ? (born 1861 died?). Hilda married Harry Stoner (born 1895 Lower Beeding, Sussex died 28/11/1992 Worthing, Sussex). One child from the marriage - Joyce Mary Stoner (born 28/11/24).

Any help in identifying full details of Hilda's parents and any siblings she may have had would be most welcome. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
