Does anyone have photos or information of my grandparents and family they were Elizabeth Ann Glover(1873-1922) and Thomas Squires(1868-1941) who lived in 17 Torridge Street.

Thomas's surname also listed as Squire. Born Woofardisworthy.parents William and Mary Ann.
Familysearch.org has the details you should find useful. Thomas and Elizabeth married 1893 Bideford regn area
Youngest child Stanly born 1906 died 1961.

Thanks for reply. If you have received half finished replies - never used this before.

I have all the information including photos of grandfather Thomas on my Ancestry tree. What I am really looking for is a picture(s) of grandmother Elizabeth Ann Squires(nee Glover) who died aged 49.

Have only recently been in contact with last Squires cousin - his daughter is also looking for a photo of our grandmother.

Thanks for your replies. Will now try other avenues.
