Frank was born in 1924 and married Lucie Rose Vanderbosch in 1947 in Lancaster Lancashire. They had 2 daughters Elizabeth Anne born 1949 in Lancaster and another daughter Diane but that may have been her second name as
Elizabeth was always called Anne. Where and when Lucie was born I have no idea as I can't find a birth. Also can't find a birth for Diane but the family seemed to move about a bit. Preston and Liverpool spring to mind.
Wondering if anyone out there can help
Many thanks

Dianne A. Wilson's birth was in 1954 in Amounderness, Lancashire. The mother's maiden name is VandeNbosch on the children's birth and the marriage.

Thank you Kathleen.
It could well be her. Certainly Dianne is right.
Makes you wonder why Lucie would come from American to England especially when she originated from Holland. If she is the right one she must have only been about 17 when she married Reg. as he was known. She must have come with her parents.

Apart from the daughters birth ,now found, what other info are you looking for ?

:-)

Frank Reginald Wilson was born in Lancaster. Lancashire in 1924. His father was Francis Samuel Wilson and his mother nee Carter but can't find a marriage.

Reg as he was know had 2 sisters. Norah 1914 and Eileen 1919, both born in Lancaster. Eileen died aged 15 in 1934 after being involved in a motor accident.

Maybe someone would be kind enough to look for the marriage.
Thank you.

Lancaster Guardian - Friday 29 November 1946

LANCASTER EXPERTS TO THE FORE
In Birmingham, work on the Royal train nearing completion. In about three weeks time it is expected that the job will be complete and the specialists who have been working on it can return to their homes. Returning home to Lancaster will be a contingent of employees from Waring and Gillows who have been responsible for all the woodwork in the principal rooms of seven coaches. At the Lancaster factory the planning and general designing has been in the hands of Mr. Frank Wilson, of 6, Lymm Avenue Scale Hail Lancaster, who for the past three months has been paying regular visits to Birmingham to supervise the work....

Lucie from Ostend according to engagement annoucement:

Lancaster Guardian - Friday 07 March 1947

WILSON- VANDENBOSCH. The engagement is announced between S/Sgt. Reg. Wilson. 6 Lymm Avenue, Lancaster, and Lucie Vandenbosch of Ostend.
-----------------------------

Lancaster Guardian - Friday 19 September 1947

WILSON—VANDENBOSCH: St. Luke's Skerton. by Rev. Moss, September 13th, Frank R. Wilson. Avenue, to Lucie Vandenbosch, of Ostend.

I don't know the date of the arrival into US, but as Belgium was invaded 10 May 1940, it could be they were escaping but I don't think there would be a direct route to England?

If the DOB given in 1939 is correct, Annie can't be the 1895 Annie whose birth I posted earlier.

Francis died in Lancaster:

Francis S Wilson

I wonder if this is Annie's death, with the month wrong? (Or maybe the month's wrong in 1939):

Annie Elizabeth Wilson

Birth Date: 17 Nov 1889
Date of Registration: Mar 1979

So - options for her birth - none in Middlesbrough in 1889:

Births Dec 1889 (>99%)
Carter Annie Eliza Helmsley 9d 434

AG- That's her death in 1979:

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar

WILSON, Annie Eliza of 6 Lymm Avenue Lancaster died 15 February 1979 Probate Liverpool 11 April £13746

Another possible:

Registration district: Mullingar
Birth Country: Ireland

EDIT: Not this one- she was born in March

I knew Francis was a master carpenter and had worked for Waring And Gillow at Lancaster but didn't know about the Royal Train. All very interesting.

Still sorting the dates out but thank you all for your input.
