I AM trying to contact any living relative of the late Margaret Mary Smith, my great-grandmother. She married twice - her first husband being Robert William Pickering. Their daughter, also called Margaret Mary, married my grandfather, Matthew Cosgrove.

My great-grandmother died in October, 1951, aged 78 and was buried at Pleasington Priory, where my grandmother was also buried later.

I am researching my family tree and I really need the help of anyone related to either Robert William Pickering or my great-grandmother's second husband, Smith.
