Looking for family history

[jadykatie]

I'm looking into my grandad George A Mountain born in Norwich, Norfolk in 1928. Trying to find out about his first marriage to Doreen Cowan I know they married in Norwich in 1949 and I have been told she had children with my grandad. I can't seem to find anything about her birth, death or re marrying can anyone help me please

I assume she is no longer alive, otherwise you need to remove this thread about her.

The marriage is :

Oct/Nov/Dec 1949
Norwich
Ref 4b 1295
Doreen Cowan / George A L Mountain

Do you know if she was a spinster when they married , or if Cowan is a name from a previous marriage?

If it is her maiden name, you can look on FreeBMD for births with surname Mountain and mothers maiden name Cowan, to see if they had children.  As they are likely to still be alive (if there were any) then the names cant be posted here.   
If Cowan is not her maiden name, then any births will show what her maiden actually was.
You may therefore need that marriage cert to ascertain her fathers name.

There are two possible children looking at FreeBMD but as stated as its possible they are still alive I cannot post details of them - but easy enough to find searching for them.

I have also found a possible death for her not in Norwich but in Durham where as the 2nd potential child was born.  I do state its not guaranteed this is her however as a few entries come up for her name.

Its either a coincidence there was another Mountain marry a Cowan or they moved 240 odd miles north.

First name(s)   DOREEN
Last name   MOUNTAIN
Birth day   13
Birth month   3
Birth year   1930
Death quarter   2
Death year   2006
District   DURHAM WEST
District number   4421E
