If there wasn't a divorce - and no such event has been mentioned - the man couldn't legally re-marry.

Did you follow-up on the info I gave you about ROSE?

thank you

"How to get your copy grant and/or will.

You won’t be able to access the grant/will straight after ordering it. You will get an email confirming your order but this will not mean that your copy is ready to be downloaded.

You will get an email when it is ready to download. You will then be able to log in to the system and go to “My Wills” and save each available item to your computer. After you have logged in, the copy will be available for 31 days, so make sure that you save it before then."

i have ordered the will as suggested, does it take time for it to be emailed to me?

Thank you all.. I am still learning how this all works

The closed record in 1939 is almost certainly the son of Benjamin and Rose,,,,,,,,also named Benjamin

Benjamin A C Howe died in 1967

Rose Grace Elizabeth Howe married Roberson

She died in 2005

One child of the marriage…..see freebmd

He’s on the ER to 2018

You said you knew nothing about your grandmothers family either . This is them in 1939 ( use all the freebmd adive to follow the lives of the siblings)

Added. There is a tree on Ancestry by a descendant of Thomas via his first wife.

In 1947, Henry and Daisy were living at 34 Fitzalan Street.

__________________
EDIT:
Henry seems to be listed twice in 1947 - once with Daisy at 34 Fitzalan Street, and again with Rose A Howe (presumably his sister-in-law) at 16 Kempsford Road.

In 1949 he's at 16 Kempsford Road with Benjamin & Rose A, and also Rose (presumably his sister).
_________________

Henry was probably at 75 Fitzalan Street in 1954.
He may or may not be with a Sarah F Evans - she may be in a different flat at the same address, and nothing to do with Henry.

Henry W Howe
in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name Henry W Howe
Electoral Date 1954
Street Address 75 (Ana [ Fitzalan Street on image ]
Ward or Division/Constituency Lambeth
County or Borough Lambeth, England


This MIGHT be Henry in 1963 - and at the same address in 1964. He doesn't appear to be with a partner.

Henry W Howe
in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name Henry W Howe
Electoral Date 1963
Street Address 21 Y-Shaw, Robert [ 21 Renfrew Road on image ]
Ward or Division/Constituency Vauxhall
County or Borough Lambeth, England
Reference Number LCC/PER/B/2939

ADDED:
But that might not be Henry Walter in 1963.
In 1956 that man is at the same address, with a Harry Howe.
Whoever Harry Howe is, he's at the same address in 1955 and 1959 - but not with Henry W.

I don't see a later marriage for Henry Walter Howe.

I don't think this is him:

Marriages Mar 1953
HOWE Henry W SMITH Colchester 4a 1225
SMITH Pamela I HOW Colchester 4a 1225

I think that's probably Henry WILLIAM Howe, who died in Essex in 1992.
Pamela Iris Howe died in Essex in 2021.

It's possible that your grandfather may have lived with a new partner without marrying her, if he and Daisy hadn't divorced. Do you know if they did?

Ah, so you are looking for information after 1945.

As shown above, your grandfather died in 1969, so there are only 24 years to account for.

His death cert might be helpful , depending on who the informant was.
His probate record shows that he had been living at 185 Coronation Buildings, Lambeth - so he hadn't moved far.

Henry and Daisy had one son, John, who I assume is your father.

A marriage certificate will give the names of both fathers, a birth certificate will give the names of both parents.

You were given some information about possible family. You can use the free bmd website to see if Benjamin & Rose had any other children and then see if those children married and had their own.
You can also use that site to see if the sister Rose also married.

He was told that his father left before he was born.. my dad has never know amy of his das or mother's family.. I would love him to find a relative

Yes my grandfather's family, I am sure he went on to re marry and had children..so my farther with have relatives

As explained earlier, if you order a copy of the marriage certificate, it will tell you Henry's father's name (if Henry knew it).

You say, "I am so confused with all the numbers after the names".

If you mean the numbers after the names on the marriage record - as already explained, 1d is the volume number, and 243 is the page number.

If you follow the instructions about how to order the marriage cert (see my post on 17 June at 09:20), the GRO website will show you where you need to enter those numbers on your application.


"I really have no clue how to gather information " -
On 17 June at 06:22, Shirley posted Henry's 1912 birth record.
You can order a copy of the actual birth certificate on the GRO website.

If you want his death cert, here are the details to quote in an order for it on GRO:

Deaths Jun 1969
HOWE Henry Walter [DOB 13My1912] Lambeth 5d 107

You mention wanting to find family related to Henry and Daisy.
On 17 June at 06:26, Shirley posted the 1921 Census record for his parents and siblings, also an uncle.

At 06:20 on 17 June, Shirley posted the 1939 Register entry showing Henry with his sister Rose Grace Elizabeth Howe, his brother Benjamin Arthur Charles Howe, Benjamin's wife Rose Amelia (nee James), and one other person who was probably Benjamin and Rose's son Benjamin J Howe, who was born in 1938.

You'll find that birth on FreeBMD.
Experiment with that site - it's free.


Benjamin and Rose married in 1936, in Lewisham:

Marriages Sep 1936
Howe Benjamin A C James Lewisham 1d 3020
James Rose A Howe Lewisham 1d 3020

You'll find that on FreeBMD. https://www.freebmd.org.uk

Are there particular family members whom you want to find?

Marriages Mar 1945
Howe Henry W Stanley Lambeth 1d 243
Stanley Daisy E Howe Lambeth 1d 243
This is 100% correct information but fining family related to them is difficult

I am so confused with all the numbers after the names I really have no clue how to gather information ??

See the advice posted at 09.20 yesterday

Thank you all for your help , can you advise on how i get the marriage certificate?

There is also a little on the Coronation Buildings on line. Possibly not the greatest place to live.
