I have come to a roadblock .
I am looking for parents or siblings of the following person;
Born : Daisy Lilley 1897 I think, she married Alfred Glassborow and had one child born 1914 and another 1919.
She died Daisy Lilly Glassborow in London 1929.
We were always told she was French but don’t know how true that is.
So I can’t find her parents or any siblings and the name change might be what is sending me wrong

Thank you

Family Search has a marriage in 1913 - Daisy Lilly to Alfred E. Glassborow, in Southwark, London (amalgamating 2 entries).

Should be easy for you to find further records, trying for census listings, as you have better knowledge of the finer details. Would try variations of surnames too, although F/S is quite forgiving.

Oh wow thanks so much

You're welcome. I think her age on the marriage certificate is incorrect. It looks like she was only around 16 years old when she married.

Not seeing much evidence of a French Connection at the moment.

May be quite far back...we have family with a French connection, south of the river and Spitalfields who came over when the Huguenots fled from France, they were French protestants. This happened in the 1700s.

Thanks Daisy88- this was my great-grandmother and she died when my grandfather was 10yrs old. My grandfather always had her name as Lillian Lille and told us she was French. But certainly I can’t see how. Lol
