Hi Alan

Mary is proving hard to find in her later years isn't she  :-\ We have no clues on Charles so far. If he died young, maybe she remarried?

What years do you have her connected to the SWH?

The only source of info and details will be the image of the marriage cert, available to view on the pay to view www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Mary Hughes Gowenlock married Charles Gibbon Green at Inverness, 30 April 1889.  Charles died in Mexico, 30 July 1899, aged 40.  Mary was a nurse in WW1.  1916 newspapers relate a dangerous escape she and other nurses had from occupied Serbia.  In 1922 Mary married a William Allan in Edinburgh, but as Mary Hughes Gowenlock.  I know nothing about William.  Mary is on the 1939 register, living in Sussex with her spinster sisters Emma and Wiliamina Gowenlock.  Mary died in Chichester, West Sussex in 1957 aged 89 as Mary Hughes Allan.
