Garry Bowen 23 Apr 1937 Male Under Age Single 155 4

I hecked the original image and the J is not right, you can see that it's an E.C.
So Arthur married Eunice Stephens - I cannot find where Tilsey comes into this.
I looked to see if Eunice had been married before but I cannot see to find anything.

Just so people don't go looking, I have Arthur's birth and parents details and also him with his mother in 1911.

It's just his wife's name and children I need to find out.

Any help would be appreciated.

That would indicate that Eunice remarried.

When you look at the original image, there is NO update to Eunice's surname.

The children......

Thank you PH & RG !

So Eunice was born Stephens and Married Bowen but also died Bowen?

So is Tilsey a mistranscription and should be ignored??

Thanks all :-)

It was the daughter Una who married Tilsey......."Tilsley"

Oooh thanks Holly!

Obviously left his effects to his son?? !

:-S

Hi Squeaky

I have just added to my last post.

Perhaps they were involved in some kind of motor accident?


Looking through the records, i think Robert Joseph Bonney was Maureen's father.

How sad!

No Squeaky - he probably just left the 'admninistration of his estate' to the in-laws - you will need to get his will to see the full details but the value of the effects would probably have ended up with Una.

Ahh okay Holly, Thanks for that. And thanks Dea,

What a shame, it does look like an accident maybe,

Cassington End - Garry died at the scene and Maureen later died in hospital.

Very sad.
