EDIT :
Thanks Reggie.
misread 1939 as 29 - sorry !

She registered William's death in 1939!

You are quick messages came in while I was answering previous messages. Birth certainly looks promising fits with possible birth year.

marriage of Fanny Divall to Howlett is known about but trying to find the marriage if any to William divall.

Children 4 all adopted Albert who took the name Divall, Harold nothing known. Dorothy kept her own surname Levett and John

Do you have Fanny's marriage cert to Howlett? It should have her maiden name on which may help to trace a marrage.

William's death certificate shows his occupation as Retired Traction Engine Driver

Also, when were the children born?

Patricia

I'm sorry, but please don't mess us about - tell us ALL you know

I'm guessing that Fanny's name was LEVETT

No LEVETT was the name of her daughter Dorothy, some of the children appeared to keep their own name, others took hers or a variation of hers Albert Harvey- Divall (Harvey own surnane? guessing ) dob 1902/03. Dorothy Levett already mentioned dob 1917John Divall (Possibly born Keir) 1918 later changed to Devalle , Harold Divall ?nothing known on Harold dob 1900?

I have a copy of Fanny's death certificate surname shown as Howlett December 1955 place Tunbridge Wells Kent, but am lacking any proof of tie up with William Divall

Which one?
