Electoral Rolls Brighton 1950's

[mothermicheal]

The marriage certificate for Walter arrived to-day.

 

 My first ever certificate ordered and it's the one I was hoping for.

 In the parish Church in the parish of Brighton,  by license, June 26 1918

Walter James Fowler,  32,  Bachelor, Driver Royal Engineers, 4 Claremont Row

Father   James Fowler,  Boiler worker

to

Ada Nye  37   WIDOW     4 Claremont Row 

Father     John Tucknott   Farmer   

Witnesses   John Fuller  and  Emily Fuller.

 Does this explain that Ada was a Tucknott, then married a Nye, the Children
Ada  1910
Harry  1911
Cecil  1913
Jack  1915,   were  more then likely from Ada's first marriage.
 They were both living in the same house, in 1918, when they were married (could they have been  living with either set of parents?).
 They married in 1918, in August 1919 they went to Canada, Ada must have been expecting, as my Dad was born there in 1920.

I am overwelhmed with all the help you have all given me, but if anyone could shed anymore light on Ada and her father John, it would be fantastic.

I have had a look on a few sites, but can not find very much.

What should be my next move?
What should I be asking?
And where should I be looking?

Thanks everyone
From one very HAPPY and very LUCKY person

Hi Linda

Phew, I'm glad the certificate matches. It would have been a bit of an anti-climax if after all this searching the family was wrong! 

I think the best thing would be to start a completely new topic, searching for Ada Tucknott and her family, so that people can see instantly who you are looking for and when and where.

You'll get more people looking at a new topic, just to see what the query is. If anyone has been following this thread, they may just think its more about Walter.

I'll start looking from this info though...

Congrats, and good luck in the rest of the search

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.

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.
