We also know that there were two older sisters, we think they might be from another Marriage, they were Jean and Violet. We think they would have been born in the 1920’s approximately. Sandra Rowe was born in 1944.

Hi, Reginald Fox Rowe was my Grandfather and my Grandmother was Dorothy Elizabeth Jones. They had the following children Malcolm, Merlin, Sandra, Robert & Reginald (twins). All children were born in the Monmouth Wales area. When Reginald Fox Rowe died, Dorothy Jones abondoned the children and they were all moved to a children’s home in Monmouth were they were raised until they each turned 16 years old. I am Sandra Rowe’s daughter, we have since moved to Canada. Paula I think we might be cousins?

Am I correct in assuming that Reg was 54 years old when he married Dorothy who was 20 and their child was registered in the same quarter as they married. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just sayin'.

Reginald Fox Rowe was my Grandfather, He remarried 9th Npvember 1935 to Dorothy Elizabeth Jones B. 1915, where to my knowledge they had just one child in the same year of Marriage, Reginald Fox Rowe died 3rd February 1951 at Pontypool, Wales. I am trying to discover if I am mistaken and there were more Children but its always been a mystery and we didn't dare ask and when I once did I was told not to ask again! If anyone can tell me more I'd be very grateful.
