Looking for information before 1940 when she married Frank Saunders. She was born 1915 maybe Oxfordshire.

Looking for her parents or siblings names.

Father will be named on marriage cert if known

Look for her birth on freebmd……then for parents’ marriage

Very easy to do

She is on 1939 Register as a servant. DoB 9 Jun 1915

EDITED

No birth on freebmd, nor is there any sign of her as Lawson in 1921.

You’ll need the marriage cert
