Find Ancestors

I am trying to locate information regarding a Colin A Crow who married Beryl Russell.
All I have managed to find is the marraige record for Jan/Feb/Mar 1934, Westminster Ref.Vol 1a Pg 835.
Beryl is originally from South Africa but married Colin in England.
I believe they had at least 2 daughters viz. Heather and Margaret.

This might be Colins birth

What was his age on their marriage cert

Births Sep 1896 (>99%)
Crow Colin Arthur Greenwich 1d 1122

if you want to find more info about him then the marriage cert may give his age and fathers name

that ones death
Name: Colin Arthur Crow
Birth Date: 12 Jun 1896
Death Registration Month/Year: 1974
Registration district: Ringwood
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 20
Page: 0860

Baptism but you need marriage cert to confirm all this
Name: Colin Arthur Crow
Estimated Birth Date: 2 Oct 1896
Father's Name: John Kent Crow
Mother's Name: Ethel Mary Crow
County: Middlesex

Thank you.
I have only just located the marriage cert. & will have to order it which takes a few weeks to get to South Africa and then it may be the wrong one, but that's the chance I'll have to take.

were the children born in England because i cannot find a birth for them

From the limited info that I have Heather & Margaret were born in England because their mother Beryl brought them to South Africa to visit her father in ± 1940. Beryl was discharged from the military in ± 1945. She had an affair with a Jock Cuthbert while in South Africa and had a daughter from Jock. This daughter was registered as Frances Crow d.o.b 21/12/1945 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and was given up for adoption. She was adopted by Eric Murrell Ware and Ivy Gladys (Elms) Ware.
Frances was then given the name of Susan Gay Ware

Can anyone find them on Find my past passenger lists then as i haven't found a birth for them?

My grandmother's name was Beryl Cuthbert, previously Crow, she married my grandfather David Alexander Cuthbert in South Africa, not sure when as I can't find the details for it. They had my father also named David Alexander Cuthbert in 1949 in South Africa. Not sure if this is the same person you were looking for. I would like to find out more as I don't have much information of my ancestors

Well her first husband is on his own with a housekeeper in 1939

I know this is an old thread but it follows more than the new one Claire has started

Claire, you can of course comment on old threads but Margaret has given the link to allow other members to help with your own query. Peter posted this thread in 2010 so is unlikely to be looking for replies now, you can try contacting him by clicking on his name to send a message, which if he still has the same email address, he will be able to reply to.

Thank you, I have sent him a message as well, hopefully I will hear back from him.

I am new to this so not really sure how it all works but I really want to find some living relatives. I don't know anything about my father's side of the family. <3
