Hello! I hope you are all well
I was wondering if I could have a look up request for more information on my grandmother's uncles and aunt on her father's side of the family. Even though a few were born in different places, my family has resided in Somerset for a while and I thought this was as good a place to start!
So far I have: My grandmother (June Barrett nee Howes) who was the daughter of PERCY HOWES (1908-1988). Percy had a brother called WILLIAM (my research has found him as William Sydney Cannon Howes who was born in 10th July 1900 in Herne Bay, Kent), another brother called ALF (I assume Alfred? I haven't got much information on him) and a sister called EVERHILDA MAUD HOWES (she was born about 1907 in Cardiff, married name is Oldman and she died around 1997/98). The parents are Sydney Dunning Howes and Annie Maria Allen.
In the 1911 census it says they lost a child. As there is a bit of an age difference between Will and Hilda, I would presume that is where their deceased child was born. Can anyone find out any information on this child? He/She was never talked about and I only recently realized when I gave the census a proper look.
I was wondering if anyone could give me more information on the birth and death of Alf (as he isn't on the 1911 census I guess he was born after) and the death of William for certain. I have about 1979 but my mother has questioned it.
Also, (sorry for this being so long!) I was told that one of my grandmother's uncles was placed in a prisoner of war camp in WW2. I believe it is William and I believe the camp was based in Burma? I am not sure where to start looking with that one, any help would be great!!
Also, if the name Elsie or Beryl come up in your searches, that would be useful too! Thank you so much
