And she turned up as Ellen Elinor - lol? Well as you may remember this girl married rather well - when I was at aunties she gave me this pic of Ellen aka Beatrice aka Jenny with her husband Robert Towler (who O.C. poo pooed as "an industrialist".)Robert Towler and Ellen Beatrice Elinor (Medium).jpg Blimey, he looks like Richard Griffiths doesnt he! lol The little boy on Jenny's knee is name removed, who is still alive and kicking.

You cant resist, can you Merry! Mind you I didnt realise that George Delacour had kicked the bucket only months after his marriage to Charlotte Horstead which you snooped out
Im not sure, I DID have her memorial card here somewhere and I know from that that she had lost him x years after they married and it would have made him dead 1930. They married in 1923 so I must have worked it out from that. But how did you find that - did you go through the complete index? Surely not.Last edited by Heather Positive Thinker; 14-03-08, 16:59.Comment

pmsl - sorry I was being the kids taxi!Originally posted by Heather Positive Thinker View Post
I don't know it's the right man at all!! Times Digital Archive said he was a boiler maker in Woolwich, so depends on whether they lived there and whether that one was sitting actually making the boilers, or if he thought they was so good, he bought the company (lol!!)
The man who died in 1930 was 54 (GRO) so that's too old? (I didn't look at that bit before!) Also had a middle name - Francis.Last edited by Merry Monty Montgomery; 14-03-08, 19:54.Comment

Yes thats him Robert Francis Towler! They owned a company called Towler and Sons, boilermakers (by appointment to HM!). The main works were up north and in Stratford, east London. I guess they may have had a further place in Woolwich or may be that was North Woolwich, north of the thames, east end. He was born in 1877 - Beatrice/Jenny was his second wife.
How come you have access to Times Digital, I thought theyd stopped that? Any more detail please????Last edited by Heather Positive Thinker; 14-03-08, 20:13.Comment

Good heavens! Well, his mouth is the same!Comment

And those shifty eyes. I wonder if he took a fancy to the bottle or whether he was ill in the first pic - he looks really quite emaciated in that- look how loose the suit is hanging and he wasnt short of a few bob to buy one that fitted.Comment
-
He looks bloated in the second pic - kidney disease?
