Gow, henry and Margaret, Tynemouth
« on: Thursday 25 August 11 18:57 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the family of my uncle Atholl Guthrie Gow Born Mar 1935 Tynemouth and died 1982 Bournemouth. I know his Father was Henry G Gow and his mother was Margaret Marshall they were married in 1932 in Tynemouth, this is all I can find out. I have tried googling the name and all i get is Blair castle and all the family names are mentioned including my cousins name , I was wondering if anyone knows any more about this family and their origins please.
Thanks
Clare

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living people.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

There is a birth registration for a Henry George Gow Mar ¼ 1905 in Sheppey. If you get a copy of the marriage certificate it will have the names of their fathers.

The date of birth is given by the informant and could be incorrect, after all the person who knows is in no position to check it  :)
