Vera it is time I bought the certificate, interestingly enough when an illegitemate is born in my family its always a son thus making a tracing very difficult...........in Thomas' case when he enlisted his name was Thomas Pritchard Owen............and Arthur was listed as his father at his death, when was adoption and its legal documenting started?

Thankyou very much Vera, I really appreciate this. I'm not really aux faux with Surrey but could you suggest to me a way of finding out if the Cottisloes, as in Lord and Lady of the time, were down that way as he and his wife have working links with them in Newton Harcourt, Leics. and Swanbourne, Bucks with the Freemantles.

At this juncture I am very much the novice, but I did always find it strange that despite his wife and 3 daughters being housed in Swanbourne around the time of his death, my nan well remembered the fleeting encounter whilst he was dying and she of a tender age, that he was buried in Newton Harcourt and (presumed died) in1919.

My Great, Great Grandfather has evoked some interest due to his grave being in Newton Harcourt and having served in WW1.
I am hoping that some kind person can shed some light as to his whereabouts in 1911, as I can find nothing at all.

Thomas Pritchard Owen, was born 1889 West Derby, Lancs. presumed bastard as at birth reg. Thomas Pritchard. He married in 3/4 1909 an Ethel Scotchbrook (b.1888 in Newton Harcourt), in Newton Harcourt. Leics. They had a daughter Ethel Owen b. 1910 Surrey, followed by Hilda Mary owen 1911 Surrey. His profession at this time was most likely a gardener and his wife a corset maker/ housewife. All info greatly appreciated.

Many thanx in anticipation, Tracey.
