She may not have married Mr Foster, it isn't only the youngsters who thought of living together ??

Well, this is true but as far as officialdom was concerned I didn't think that they would count a 'partner' back in those days LM.

The 1939 register entry with the 1918 birth date gives an area code adjustment for the 2nd marriage which ties in with where she was supposedly living.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pn8/

Area Code Chelmsford Essex - rather than marry did she just change her surname  ???

I don't know if either of these links will be helpful

Query here about code NR230

and on Rootschat regarding possible name change

Btw I was wrong originally her dob was 27th August 1918.

On the 1939 Register she is shown as Vera Foster/Harrison/Owen. Owen being her maiden name and Harrison her married name.

I have tried to look for a marriage between a Vera Owen or a Vera Harrison to someone named Foster from 1947 onwards but without any luck.


No luck with a marriage either - there is this death for a Vera Foster but her date/birth month are not correct  ???

Vera FOSTER born 26 4 1918
Jun 1982 Basford Nottinghamshire Volume   8 Page   0053

Vera Foster of 3 Cranston Av Arnold Nottingham died 13 May 1982
Administration Manchester 22 Dec 1982

I am intrigued by the letter M noted on Vera's 1939 record.  It seems to have been written in the same black ink when she married and her name changed to Harrison.  When the record was amended to Foster with the area code and date it was in blue ink, the M has been crossed through in blue ink at that time.

Maybe it stood for "married" but why cross it out  ???.  Just posting my observation in case anyone else can offer suggestions.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton
