Thank you so very much for your reply. You are correct, Michel my father in law was the son of Ada Florence Rackstraw.
My aim here is to discover more about Ada's connection with 10 Murray Road, Ruislip, Northwood. I have a little information taken from a birth certificate.
Apart form that, I have collected quite a bit of information on Ada. Hopefully understanding more about the history of the above mentioned address it may offer me a new lead in finding out more about Ada.
