Vera Owens, Liverpool
« on: Tuesday 13 June 17 19:20 BST (UK) »
Stumped trying to find a birth for a Vera Owens, born 1930ish in Liverpool.  Her mother MN was Howes.  I have found all the rest of her siblings but she has escaped me.  The Vera Owens born in Birkenhead is not her.  She married in 1972 to Thomas Lee but that is all I can find on her and she is not in the 1939 register.  Any help appreciated.

Many thanks for your replies.  It is quite possible that this is her death.  Where did you find the record of her death?  Her father did not remarry but died sometime in the 1930's.

Was her mother Edith Howes? There is a death in 1928 for Edith M Owens. :-\

No that's wrong isn't it!
Edith is still alive in 1933 according to The probate calendar.

What is your source for Vera's birth with MMN Howes?

Could Vera have been married before her marriage to Thomas Lee as she would have been about 42 in 1972 and therefore quite late for a first marriage?

This might sound a bit odd but do you know for sure that Vera is of the same family as the Owens/Howes siblings you mention.

Have you seen her marriage certificate?
