Albert OWEN 1902
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2015 3:34 pm
Hi
I'm hoping someone can help me with my brick wall of my paternal grandfather. Wasn't sure if I should post here or brick walls, so admin please move if I'm in the wrong spot.
My mother knows very little about her father Albert OWEN. He died suddenly (dropped dead in the street) when she was 7'years old and he was not talked of because he was not married to my grandmother although they had four children together. Here is what I know:
My grandmother born Ethel Rose PEACOCK 10/3/1903 Croft, Lincolnshire was married to George DAWSON in 1923 in Lincolnshire. They had 6 or 7 children together between 1923 and 1933.
Sometime between 1933 and 1935 Ethel Rose DAWSON (nee PEACOCK) eloped with Albert OWEN. They had four children together, all taking the name DAWSON although I have just discovered that their last child was registered as OWEN. The children are Roy DAWSON b 1935, Eileen Mary DAWSON b 1937, Reginald DAWSON b 1939 and Maureen Yvonne DAWSON (registered OWEN).
All I know apart from that is from Albert's death certificate, the 1939 register and my mother's birth certificate. Which is as follows:
Died in Moorland Avenue, Lincoln on 28th November 1944
Name: Albert OWEN
Age: 42 years
Address: 14 Moorland Crescent, Lincoln
Occupation: Railway Examiner
Cause of death: Myocardial failure, Angina pectorus, coronary thrombosis
Description and residence of informant: E. R. DAWSON, 14 Moorland Crescent, Lincoln
1939 register:
Address: 14 Moorland Crescent, Lincoln
OWEN Albert, male, married, dob March 30 1902, Railway C&W examiner
DAWSON Ethel Rose (changed later to ATKINSON 2nd husband m. 1948), female, married, dob March 10 1903, Domestic Unpaid
There are at least 6 closed records in the household which I believe to be their children and the children from Ethel's marriage to George DAWSON. It is interesting to note that Albert is also described as married. Perhaps I could find details of this marriage?
Although no father is named on my mother's birth certificate from 1937 the informant is A. OWEN described as the occupier of 363a High Street, Lincoln which on the same document is referred to as my mother's place of birth.
As Albert OWEN is a common name I am struggling to find out his place of birth and parents. I have tried browsing the railway employment records on Ancestry but to no avail. Does anyone have a copy of the British Railways pre grouping atlas so I can find out which companies operated in Lincoln?
Any help or ideas on a way forward would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
