Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Electoral Rolls Brighton 1950's

James Fowler may have had more children but his son james (jim) so I hear had a family somewhere but he may have been a bit of a scoundrel.I don't know if that was gambling or womanising.James Fowler himself(so I am told) was a hard man until he went out one rainy night and "saw the light".After that he become a member of the Salvation Army and many of his children were members.This was probably in the 1920s/1930s.His son Jim used to come and visit occasionally and the rumours about him being wayword may not be true.

Well Hello Folks,
I've just discovered this site.James Fowler was my Great Grandfather.I have researched this line of the Fowler family back to the Chichester area as far back as about 1780s.James Fowler (died at 101) had lived in Park Crescent Road from about 1907 until he died. His wife died in the 1930s and she was born in Hook Hampshire but I can't find her birth certificate (got place of birth from census records).James was born at Glynde,Sussex and his siblings were born at various places as they were all travelling with the railways.I believe that at least one of James children died during the first world war and a daughter was killed by a car in Ditchling Road ,Brighton.James was survived by his son James (Uncle Jim) and daughters Bertha,Daisy,Annie and Louisa. I hope this is of some interest to you.
