Thankyou very much for that, only need his .marriage to nancy now and I think it will be confirmed. His death cert gave his birth date thanks.

there's a Nancy Key married to a Rowe in 1944 Crewe but the corresponding cross ref isnt on the GRO page(have checked the actual GRo list and its not in the Rowe listings)
Did Harold have children cos the mmn will show on their birth ref ??

Not Harold unfortunately


Marriages Sep 1944

ROWE James E- Key Crewe 8a 915

Other half is James E Rowe

Ah thats the one James Rowe/ I looked for it as Harold but then missed the other entry. Rules it out anyway .

Nancy was often used for Ann / Anne / Annie

Well - another one ruled out then - I will post it anyway, just so that others do
waste time following it! :

This was the only death I could find for a possible Nancy Rowe in an area which fitted:

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005

I looked for her birth and found these 'possibles':

GREGORY Margaret Nancy Leigh 8c 283
MILLER Margaret Nancy Portsmouth 2b 391
MUMFORD Margaret Nancy Hambledon 2a 173

...........

Lo and behold - Margaret Burns seemed to fit and I found her marriage to Rowe in 1930:

Burns Margaret N Rowe Liverpool 8b 275 *****
Easby John D Nelson Liverpool 8b 275
Nelson Doris Easby Liverpool 8b 275
Rowe Joseph R Burns Liverpool 8b 275 *****

Unfortunately this is not the one either - Joseph R !!!

Thanks for all your hard work, sorry it does not appear to be right, the Nancy Rowe in my tree died we think in Oct/Nov 2006, she had two sons Neville and Graham.born 1942,1945.

Just found Nancy's maiden name,Cowley born in London then moved to Leeds, before moving to live in Southport where she died.
Getting quite close now Thanks Ann

Nancy's maiden name was Cowley.

still no Harold Rowe/Cowley marriage

Could this be Neville's birth:


England & Wales, Birth Index: 1916-2005
about Neville W Rowe
Name: Neville W Rowe
Mother's Maiden Surname: Cowley ****
Date of Registration: Oct Nov Dec 1943
Registration district: Southport
Registration county: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8b
Page Number: 1125

I didnt post that birth cos he probably still alive!!

No marriages Rowe/Cowley so wonder if she was married before

No Nancy Cowley birth so seems Nancy could have been a nickname
Ancestry only has deaths to 2005 so unable to look to see her on the regs
