Thanks for that. I think she was Gertrude's child--it may have been "convenient" to let the belief grow that she was her sister's from her failed marriage!

Dorothy was registered as Jones but her mother's name was given as Clayton so she could be an illegitimate daughter of Gertie. Gertie had 4 sons and her husband was killed in WW1. The family think Dorothy was the daughter of Dorothy Kate Clayton, her sister, and Douglas Lowe who were married in 1915 but living apart by 1920. I don't have the birth certificate as this is just initial branching out from my original Lowe family search because I picked up this first marriage of my grandfather and a link came up to Dorothy's grandson which now seems to have closed!

Born 11/3/1919 possibly West Ham. Her mother was given as Clayton on her birth certificate. She was brought up by Gertie Jones but I believe she was the child of Gertie's sister Dorothy Kate Clayton and my grandfather Douglas Thomas Lowe. Does anyone have any information on this please?

Apologies. Have just read the whole entry properly and it looks like you have found them. Too late for Gordon but hopefully his brother or the next generation! Thanks again.

Do you know when he died then? We always believed he and his family always lived in Scotland.

I have written the history of my  Layton/Lowe family so have all the stories but we lost touch with  my grandfather's brother Bill and would like to find out about that line.
Thanks anyway.

Family History Beginners Board / William (Bill) Lowe

I am looking for descendents of Bill Lowe. He was born 19.12. 1899, the son of Thomas and Mary Lowe in Malvern Worcestershire. He had a brother Douglas and  sisters Rosalie and Nellie. He was admitted to Barnardo's in 1910 but returned to his mother in 1915. He is my great uncle and I last heard of him around 1948 when he visited  Douglas with his Scottish wife and 2 young teenage sons in kilts. I believe he was living in Scotland and  I have been told it was thought he was the manager of a store there possibly Woolworths.
