Thankyou, Vera and Shirley for your informative attempts to help me make some sense of my past, albeit vague and inconclusive and at times muddled. One day I hope to lay it bare in a concise and informative way,

thankyou.x

Vera this a weird one, the Freemantles and Cottisloes are linked, when or before Thomas died my Great, Great Gran Ethel, who had 3 girls of her own also took on her dead sisters girl, the went to live at The Old School House Swanbourne in service to, and opposite the Freemantles home, she governed the children and was also courtesy of family myth the Mushroom taster/tester for the Master.
In 1966 both the Freemantles and Owen to Betts gave birth in March to myself and june/july David Freemantle, who has since gone to Australia in search of roots and to raise funds for charity.

Tracey Not really a kindly act for Athur .Its not unknown for step children to take on the new husbands surname /especially when a child was illigitimate. Gave them the father they didnt have !!

Shirley, at this moment in time no I haven't got his cert, but now will, I did find Arthur and Helen /Eleen on a census in the same house but not married, which leads me to think there may have been a dalliance, as Arthur seems from my research to have been married before.

Shirley many thanx for your interest in this.

Vera the name is Cottisloes, sorry may have mis-typed, The Freemantles live in Swanbourne, Ian Duncan-Smith married one of their daughters.

Tracey Report 9 May 2011 16:50

So presumably it was a kindly act of Arthur Owen b. 1850 Welshpool, Berriew, Montgomeryshire,Wales who married Thomas' mother Helen/Ellen Pritchard b.1869 of Wavertree, Lancs to give his surname to Thomas?

I do also know that Arthur and Helen/Ellen went on to have offspring:-
Ida Owen, 1897, Checkley, Staffs.
Desmond Owen, 1899, Bowden, Cheshire.
Edith Owen, 1900, Bowden, Cheshire, given the age gap, it would be interesting to know of their whereabouts in 1911, is this possible?

Thomas' parents were listed via WW1 records as living in Sale/Hale Cheshire and his wife in Swanbourne, Bucks at the time of his death.

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 9 May 2011 16:39

Would seem he was illigitimate and took the name as Owen when his mum married.
have you got his birth cert ??

Vera Report 9 May 2011 16:39

Have tried to find the name Collisloe/s on the 1911 so far no luck..
