I'd love some help if you don't mind -it's really kind of you to offer. The info i have on her is
Maiden name Florence M Waters (no date of birth though)
married Horace Webber 1917 Kingsclere, Hampshire when he was on leave.
Child, Florence M Webber born 1918 Taunton Somerset
Horace died Mar 1918
Florence remarried Hugh P Gamblin Jun 1925 Taunton Som 5c 547
William A born 1925
Gwendoline A born 1927 both in Taunton.

I've just noticed your name - what a coincidence!

Thanks, I've got granpa's death cert and know the likely area but burials on freereg don't cover that time and I don't know where else to look. I've tried googling with no luck but the local council sounds like a good idea, thanks.
As for aunty looking for deaths now I know her new name is a good idea.What about her children? They could still be alive is there a way of finding them?

Hi everyone, I've had plenty of success tracing ancestors but have hit a brick wall with both of the things my 80 yr old mum wanted me to find out for her when I started this. One, where is her grandfather buried who died in hospital in 1906 - no idea where to start looking. Two, what happened to her aunty who was widowed in WW1 then remarried in 1925. I've found the marriage entry but can anyone tell me how to go about finding where she went or where her children are?
