Title: Death Look up please for Don Valley 1939 Irene and Brian Fowler
Post by: therevells on Thursday 20 February 14 21:51 GMT (UK)
In the belongings of my late mother in law I have found two photographs regarding the deaths of Irene and Brian Fowler who died in March 1939 aged 6 and 13.  Who were they?, I can not find any connection to my family tree, but there must be one or why would we have the photographs?  I have tried to find the parents, mothers maiden name was smith so not easy to narrow it down, Brian Russell Fowler was born Dec qtr 1932 Doncaster and died 28th March 1939 Don Valley, Irene Was born June qtr 1925 Basford and died 29th March 1939.  Would love to be able to solve this mystery and hope someone could please help.

Members of the public do not have access to death certs - you have to buy a copy

A copy of Brian's birth cert will give the full names of his parents which will enable you to trace their marriage.  As the births were in different counties it's difficult to know where the parents married.

Following the death of an elderly relative recently,my cousin also came across a photo showing the grave of an Irene Fowler and a Brian Russell Fowler, plus photos of these 2 children, who died in Don Valley in 1939. We have no idea how these 2 children were connected to our Fowlers, as they do not seem to fit in with any of our extensive research. I wondered if you ever solved the mystery of who they were?

Did you purchase a copy of the birth cert?
