Does anyone have any info on Mary Gertrude Perry?

Question

I am trying to trace my grandmother's family on my father's side. He has absolutely no memory of them before his own mom other than his grandparents' names (Carl Cecil and Gertrude).
Through my grandmother's obituary, I was able to learn that her mom's full maiden name was Mary Gertrude Perry.
As I was entering names and info for my family, it brought up Mary Perry, born in 1911, which would be roughly around when my great grandmother would have been born (estimated by my grandmother's date of birth, June 22, 1936).

Does anyone possibly have any information on Mary Gertrude Perry?

Answer 1

This might be your grandmother?

Comments

Thank you so much!!! That is them!!

We are starting from bare minimum on them because my dad has no memory prior to 1987 (head-on collision with a drunk driver).
He has no clue where his family is from, who they are, or even if anyone's still alive from his side. I'm trying to reconnect the dots for him.
And my own children want to know where we come from, as well.

The last link I added shows:

Jame H Perry, son of James M Perry and Florence Smith.

Estella Catherine Strickland, daughter of Solomon Strickland and Winifred Tanery.

Answer 2

Mary Gertrude Perry born Leek area 1903, married Walter Brown 1923.

Comments

If you are indicating that her maiden name is Leek, then it's not the same woman.
My great grandmother's maiden name was Mary Gertrude Perry. Her married name was Cecil (husband: Carl Cecil).
That, and their daughter's name (Mary Margaret Cecil) is all I have on their family.
I'm trying to find out more about them and their ancestors.

No, that's why I said "Leek area"  i.e. place.
