Hello to all very many thanks for all the suggestions and to David who found a few for me. Yes this is not an easy one at all, with many aunts and uncles ( huge families) and many smiths. it is going to be real detective work. But with surnames maybe I can match up some marriages. I have no further information, she doesnt give a name, and as the majority of the family stayed in Derbyshire, I was unaware of the Coventry family. Thanks once again for all the replies, much appreciated Aileen   Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

I wonder if anyone has any lists with war dead from Coventry, a name would give me clues to follow.
