This is so very kind of you...thank you so much.
I am looking to establish whether or not my nan was a pupil at the Grammar school between 1924 and 1933.. Her name was Muriel Humphries.
We have some confusion in the family; my nan, Muriel, told everyone she was raised in an orphanage and never knew her parents, however, I have traced some living relatives who said that her parents always told them that she attended the Grammar School called Pangam near Fleur de Lys. The living relatives are in their 80s but are so clear on the detail....I think I need to investigate and see if she was registered as a pupil there to confirm whether or not she was an orphan. A bit confusing I know but I cannot find any record of her on any of the orphanage records we believed she was raised in, so the grammar school angle does have some credance.
Her full name was Muriel Humphries, born March 1917 to Tom and Elsie Humphries who lived in Westbury on Severn. Sadly, nan passed away in 1993 so I am trying to establish as many facts as possible to help my aunts and uncles.
I'd be so thrilled if you would kindly look at the records for the time period above and see if she was registered at the school and any other information that might help identify what she did after leaving school. If there are any photos of her, or records you can copy, I would be happy to send payment for any costs.
Thank you so very much Kathy....
