Hi,
I'm the former daughter in law of the late Mervyn Robert Rowles. The couple had two more children, Madeleine (married name Olliffe) and Kieran (my ex-husband).

Hello,
Thank you for the information.
I corresponded with Patricia Hoogendorn back in the early 2000's and do have Stephen 1959, Madelieine 1965 and Kieran born 1969 on the tree. I would be interested in your marriage date to Kieran and the names of any offspring to bring the tree up to date if that's OK with you.
Patricia kindly sent me pictures of Leonard John and much information about him as I am researching all the ROWLES that served in WW1. He was the highest decorated Rowles soldier in W1. A very brave man and would have loved to meet him.
Best wishes STUART
