Hello All,
Trying to trace my Grand Father Harold Bowler, and Grand Mother Sara Dunwell who were possibly married in Keighley area, and lived in Fairburn near Ferrybridge at a bungalow called Woodside not far from Lumby Lane before and during WW2
Thanks .

Hello Gillian and welcome to the boards.

When were your Grandparents born?

Have you checked Freebmd for marriage etc?

This must be them - maybe it was a double wedding!

I have submitted a correction.

I have PMd Gillian.........hopefully she will find her way back to her thread. :-)

Wow! That certainly looks like they are in there. Sarah was in Service and Harold was a Collier to start with but he got 'the Dust' and then became a gardener and handyman I think.
There were at least three Dunwell brothers Charles Thomas and Frederick.
Harold and Sarah's children were Nellie, Nancy Florence, Maude Iris, Editn Mary, Barbara and Rose, sadli I cannot remember the names of the boys but I think that there were only 2.
Thankyou for all your contributions I will spend the weekend going through itall!
I have also been researching Ashmores ('cos I am one) and memebrs of the site have been both generous and helpful!
Thanks again .
Jill :-D
