Thread: Martha Heywood

Hi, it's me again!

I need some help with finding out about my great granny Heywood. Trying to find out about that side of the family has drawn a total blank.

Her maiden name was Hancock and she married Tom Heywood and had six children.

She died in 1967 and is buried at Oakford in Devon.

It would be great if anyone could help with her date of birth, and who her parents were.

Also, a little info on Tom Heywood would be nice.

As ever, thanks a million.
