Kent / Re: Marraige for Puxty and Wilson?

He is the Harry Puxty born 20/03/1907. He died at Tonbridge Cottage Hospital in 1992 which would be classed as Tunbridge Wells. To the very best of my mothers knowledge he was just Harry with no middle names.
The Tonbridge institution could well be the Union Workhouse but I can not be sure that this is the correct Harry but I think I did find the surname to be Wilson.

According to my mother Jane was only 15 when my grandfather was born and that there is a rumour that his fathers name was Bowen. I think that the Jessie is probably the one you have and that my mother may have got the ages wrong.
Harry wasn't born until 1907 which could make the 1891 date for Jane correct. I have been unable to find his birth on freeBMD and the only Harry Puxty that seems likely in 1911 is in an institution in Tonbridge.
My mother did mention Jane's sister as Eady and assumed that her real name was Edith.
I don't know the area that you are in (I must venture that way sometime soon and have a look) but my mother used to live on the edge of Fort Halstead on land that is now part of the fort, I believe her father farmed pigs and grew strawberries there.
Harry married Laura Woolley and remained in that area until the early 1960s when he moved to Tonbridge. I don't at present have access to Ancestry at the moment but think I will be needing to sign up soon.

I would be interested to know what you have found out about Jane Wilson as she was my great grandmother. I don't know if you were aware that she had 10 children in all, Harry and Jessie were both older than Alfred and I know that Harry was not Alfred Edmond's son.
My mother believes that Jane came from Hastings and had a sister possibly named Edith and brothers who may have been Fred and Bill.
My mother is interested to find out as much as possible as she lived almost in view of the house when it was bombed.
I hope the information that I have given you helps.
