Regarding the possible marriages of the children of Thomas and Mary nee Mason Kew.

There were two possible marriages for Dorothy at Lancaster in 1939 and another in 1943.

Leslie Kew married Marie Bone at Lancaster - December 1939 - 8e 2172

A possible 3 children to this marriage - a daughter in 1941 - a daughter 1950 and a son 1958 all at Lancaster. Obviously cannot name because hopefully they are living people.

The eldest son Kenneth may have married in Surrey - 1947 - there is a death of a Kenneth Kew born 10 January 1917 - who passed away February 1989 - Surrey North West - vol 17 page 665
IF this was the right connection - the couple would have had a son - birth registered March 1953.
