Hi all
Many thanks for all your replies. I have just spoken to the grand daughter of Rose and Mark. Before I mentioned it she said the name Mamie rang a bell, so I know for certain we have the right person. I also now have a picture of the gravestone for Mark Simmons. Rosina(Mamie) born Young, married Frauenhaus had Thelma, married Beckman had Michael, married Mark in 1951. I can see that Thelma and Michael both married, but have not looked further. So that answers one of my queries.
As regards Bessie. I wondered where she got the £4000 from. Must be about £200,000 in todays money. I have her birth as 2nd quarter 1927. the death in 1981 could be her. More research needed
I have seen the article about Edward loitering with intent
thanks again
Luke Edward
