BM Tittensor - Scottish artist?

[Tittensor ONS]

Hello, I would like to find more information about an artist called B.M.Tittensor.  I know of two paintings by him/her:

Winter Sunset, Aberlady.  A signed watercolour sold in the USA in 2009.  Full details. Including an image can be found on the Arcadja web site.

Gosford Bay.  In a private collection.  Signed and dated 1988.

Given the Scottish subjects I wonder if he/she might be Scottish?

I have looked for a birth of a B Tittensor before 1970 in both the Scottish and English registers but didn't find a good match.  It could be a married surname, of course.

Does anyone have any more information or suggestions about where to look please?

Thanks,

Paul

Colin and Gadget, thanks very much for your replies.

Beryl Mary looks like the one.  I'll look for her marriage to a Tittensor.

Harry Tittensor the artist worked for Royal Doulton in Staffordshire.  There is more information about him on my web site (link below - follow the link "Some Notable Tittensors").

Thanks for your help,

Paul
