I am trying to trace information about my mother's family who lived in the Jacksdale/Westwood area of Nottinghamshire.
My mother's maiden name was Betty Ward and she had brothers - George, Frank, Jack and Bill (whose surname was Lowe) and a sister, Ruth (married name Forsdick)
Mum wasn't very forthcoming when it came to talking about her family. My Grandfather George Edward Naylor Ward was a miner. His first wife, Lucy (nee Lowe) died in the 1940s and he remarried a lady called Bertha.
I also have relations with the surname Scothern.
All help will be gratefully appreciated.
