Find Ancestors

Thank you for your help Austin, it really is very much appreciated.

I will take a look on Miltary to see if I can find anything of interest.

I wonder if they moved to Scotland?

I don't have any credits for Scotlandspeople but it may be worth checking.

There is a Barbara Fowler marriage to surname Bell in 1917.

There is also this:

FOWLER or BELL or THOM of 13 MossGreen Street, Kelty, Fife died 19 Sept 1965 at Dumfermline Confirmation of John Lamont Thom retired mechanical engineer. Sealed London 14 February.

Perhaps WIlliam died during the war?

There are no further details that I can find for a Margaret A R Fox or Fowler if she took on the surname of her step father.

I don't have a world wide subscription so I am stuck at this point.

Austin I didn't know about that daughter so that is a great find.

Hancock is often mis-transcibed as Handcock.

Possible daughter from first marriage:

First name(s) MARGARET A R
Last name FOX
Birth year 1912
Birth quarter 2
Mother's last name HANDCOCK
District CHESTER LE STREET
County Durham
Volume 10A Page 1247

Are you sure about Barbara's age? I'm not seeing a birth that matches the info you gave.

EDIT: Barbara was married previously (1911- to James R Fox)

The above death could apply to this chap


Births Sep 1915 (>99%)
Fowler William Craggs Sunderland 10a 1544

I found a possible death for the son William Fowler.

William Fowler in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: William Fowler
Birth Date: 31 Aug 1915
Date of Registration: Feb 2006
Age at Death: 91
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: -1
Page: -1

As none of the family can be found on the 1939 register, I am now beginning to wonder if that death is incorrect and the family emigrated.

Thank you Shirley and yes they did.

I know about the son William but still looking for a possible marriage and death for the son Thomas.

Seem to have two children

Births Dec 1915
FOWLER William Fox Chester-le-S. 10a 1020
Births Dec 1916
Fowler Thomas Fox Chester le S. 10a 1072

Not picking any of them up on the 1939 register

William Fowler was born in Fatfield Durham in 1891

His wife Barbara Fox was born in Washington Durham in 1889

They married in Chester le Street Durham in 1914..

I can't find deaths for either of them and wondered if someone could please see if they can be found on the 1939 register.

Any help appreciated.
