I can't find the Thompson / Wicks marriage that you're talking about, so I'm giving up on that.

Merry - you are right the date of the marriage was 1916 - have changed it. I was thinking it had been a long time since I had made a mistake!
I've never heard of Florence Hilda Baxter - just out of interest, can you remember what part of the country the death was in? I always refer to him as John Arthur, as that is what is on his marriage certificate - - so I've changed that too ! I'm afraid he was a bit of a shady character too, I think! Have been putting together some of what I have - 1916 - marriage to Dorothy Scrutton 1922 -3 - Dorothy has 2 children 1927- sails to Curacao 1928 - John petitions for divorce 1929 - Divorce proceedings fizzle out and petition is dismissed 1929 (?) - Dorothy moves to France with my mother 1930 - John writes to the Home Office requesting that my mother's sister be added to the passports of HW Wicks and Caroline Wicks, but not to the passport of Dorothy. 1939 -John is working in an armaments factory in Liverpool and being watched by MI5. 1960 - John dies in Hove, that surprised me as it is where Dorothy was living (although they led separate lives) Have just sent for his birth cert Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 10-07-11 at 07:51. |

Florence Hilda Baxter died in Cobham, Surrey. She was a mother of a Wicks and grandmother of a Dowsett and Thompson.
Muggins, you have J A's father as John. Just for the record, he seems to use William J too: 1891 Census DOWSETT, William J STEYNING, Sussex RG12 piece 824 folio 54 page 11 DOWSETT, William J Head Married M 30 1861 Coachman Maldon Essex DOWSETT, Ann Wife Married F 31 1860 Combe Somersetshire DOWSETT, Mary May Daughter F 2 1889 Patcham Sussex |

Thanks - Elizabeth - I just wondered - in 1977 Wicks was living in Horley - I suppose not too far from Cobham
And thanks for the census reference - I have come across Combe in Somerset before - (something to do with Caroline on a passenger list, I think, giving the name of an uncle in Combe as next of kin ) |

My brain is not functioning very well...lol.
If someone wants to give me a job for either of the Muggins fellows, I'm happy to search around.

I suppose it's possible that Florence Hilda Baxter was Ann's mother John Howsett's wife's mother.
Joan doesn't seem to have a maiden name for Ann. Edit to say: Scrap that she'd be far to old I'm errr a bit confused already *goes for a lie down* I've only just got up! Last edited by maggie_4_7; 10-07-11 at 08:46. |

I feel like that too, Maggie! I have been going round in circles with this puzzle - no wonder Muggins is confused!

I haven't seen the Times article, but do the initials GD feature at all? |
