Hi
I would like to apologise for my extremely late reply and a belated thank you to Margot for your reply and the information you kindly provided.
I have started my research again and now believe that Ellen (Helen) (Mary) Brazil is/was my Grandmother. Other than that and the information provided by Margot and what is shown below I have absolutely no idea as to her, her life, London arrival, upbringing, area, family and photos. Can anybody help me in breaking down this brick wall? Any help will be appreciated.
I do have some family photos which I found on Ancestry of Thomas, Mary, Margret and Alice.
Despite the name variation I believe the surname spelling is Brazil
Many thanks in advance
