For facts about both of them , you really do need a copy of the 1922 marriage cert

The births I added from GlosBMD as shown on the GRO index.

Births Dec 1886 (>99%)
MUSTOE Minnie Louise Tewkesbury 6a 429

Births Jun 1900 (>99%)
Mustoe Minnie Louisa Cheltenham 6a 444

Only ONE of them Is LouisA, and she is likely to be the one who died in 1983

A tree on ancestry has Raymond as her dad.

Maryb

Thank you Mary.

So that confirms the birth year, if the tree is accurate

Thank you guys . it would make sense for Raymond to be her dad as she named 1 of her sons the same name. This is all new to me how do l find out more about her husband William

For William Smith, you absolutely have to purchase the known marriage certificate, which will give you his age and name his father - you then stand a chance of finding him on the 1911 census, and thus learning where he and his family wee born.
