      From Diane Hatwell:-
      My nanna is a bit of a mystery, she married Percy Ratcliffe, who was a step brother to Robert Lomas (Bob Pender) but Percy died in
      1918 and she never married my grandfather and so not a lot was said, and anyway no one listened to her stories.

  • Notes 
    • Looked through GRO Birth indexes for child of Ratcliff(e) with mother Williams from 1916 - 1919.
      Ratcliffe & WIlliams married Q1 1916
      Ratcliffe died Q2 1918
      Following possibilities:
      Q1 1916 Edwin A M W Ham 4A 807
      Q4 1916 Thomas Bolton 8C 590
      Q3 1917 Raymond E Bedwellty 11a 252
      Q3 1918 Olive E Aston 6d 726
      Q2 1919 Frank St Germans 5c 38
      The W Ham one is my favourite as it's only 5 miles from where his wife was living in 1918 when he died.
    • Two possible marriages:
      1946 JAS B.Stortford 4b 41 - Florence A Cotterall
      1952 JFM Sheppey 5b 1655 - Rosaline Haggar
