Find Ancestors

My aunt, Bertha Lowe, married Reginald (Reg) Peirce (often misspelt as Pierce) in about September 1921 and they had a son, Douglas, probably born around 1930. Bertha and Reginald ran a cafe on the east coast (Frinton, I think) for quite a few years and I remember this after the war as we visited it.
I would like to know more about Reg as I have very little at the moment, although he may have been born in London and he may have had the middle initial of C. Also I would like more on Douglas, please, if you can find anything.

16 Fernhurst Road certainly sounds right. I hadn't realised that Nellie lived so long. Thanks for that

Sorry, being new on this, I hadn't realised we had started a second page, so missed some stuff. Thanks for info. Sorry, I don't know his occupation - I suppose i must have known it, but can't remember. If you have some possibilities and could mention them it might ring a bell with me. Yes, the deaths of Robert & Norman seem reasonable, that's useful.

Can you tell me, please, when one should start a new thread. I have enquired about some of my father's family. Should I start a new thread if I enquire about my mother's family?

I gave you his death already.

There are trees on ancestry but they disagree with each other.

You suggested a year of birth but I think he may be several years older.

that is why I asked his occupation?

OK, that confirms. Do you have any clue as to Robert's date and place of birth, parents or death, please? Or about Norman?

What was Robert's occupation?

I have hit a brick wall with most of these.
I believe that Nellie Lowe married Robert (known as Bob) Emberson (born about 1896? probably in London) in September 1922, probably in Croydon, and they had an only son called Norman who was mentally retarded or "spastic". I clearly remember them all, especially Aunt Nell.
Bob Emberson was very high up in the Freemasons (possibly Grand Master of the local lodge (Norwood/Croydon area)) - I remember seeing photos of him in his apron.
In spite of him being a notable figure I have been unable to find any reliable trace of him. A Robert Emberson born in Halstead, Essex was a possibility, but in the end seemed to prove unlikely.
I would be grateful for any information on Robert Emberson, please

Derek
I do not know anything about your family except what i have found by searching.
You are going to have to prove all of this. you may find it helpfull contacting other people withe these names in their tree.
But it may take a while. and a lot of patience.

Thanks for info. I would like to know more about Percy (James?) Lowe, b. 1899, please. Any information on marriage, children, home, occupation or death would be welcome
