Answer 1

I found this just to confirm I have the right lady, if so I will do another search to see if I can find more information for you.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983

In which country was your father born, and what was Maria's married name. Did she marry the Canadian soldier.

Answer 2

I managed to trace my grandfather on Genes Reunited. If you are searching for a long lost relative or trying to extend your family tree that's the website to go to.

You will have to pay a membership fee to be able to contact others who have someone in their family tree who could potentially be your relative also....but it's well worth it!

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I expect she went to Canada after the 39-45 war try contacting  via records of GI brides   but you may have done that, learning of Ontario  I dont think you can do much other than pester the Canadian Embassy and attempt to tempt  TV in looking Jeremy Kyle?? Noel Edmunds often does searches for Christmas progs..I think before contacting anyone else in person you need to make a family tree  profile template something to catch their eyes  and by names a photographs to take around  to the various embassies and TV stations  (Photocopies of your originals so as they can keep them )      Yes Churches over there worth contacting

with these profiles  your Grand Mother likely passed away  

    GOOD LUCK
