I think he was born in Paignton, Devon? There are census records and war record with this place of birth. War records has same birthday but year 1896, must be same man?
Got the Stoker Foster wrong! I think that our man is John H. who died in 1988. Lotties daughter Patricia May Best died in Gravesend in 1985.
Can we now say that Louie married Lottie,s husband, everything points to this?
I would say so, you could get some will at £1.50 it might confirm things. Although looks like Margate one isn't right, which makes sense if she predeceased husband.
I will order the marriage cert. for Louie in 1955, I see that on Free bmd that her name is given as "Louis". Will let everyone know when I get the Cert. it takes at least 3 weeks to get to me here in Oz.
O.C. The 1972 Will relates to a Charles Mill, Lottie, Louie,s mother was Elizabeth Mill and their married names are Foster, Lottie died in 1953 so her share went to her daughter, Patricia Best. Louie was still alive so she got her share in this case John Henry,s name would not appear in the Will.
