There doesn't appear to be the birth of a Susan for the couple. Could she have been a daughter in law?

Birth of Lily which ties in with her POB and YOB from the 1911 census.
Possibly she fibbed about her age on the marriage cert to make herself 'of age' and not need parental permission?

Nettleham comes under Lincoln reg district.

Birth: Towers Lily Lincoln 7a 495 JAS 1889.

The only birth I could find for Henry was earlier than you and census 1911 said:

Birth: Perrin Henry Lincoln 7a 520 OND 1876

but Fiskerton does come under the Lincoln reg district.

Edit: have since realised Lily had more than one sister, so not sure which one you couldn't find details for; decided to leave info on Grace on thread anyway.

Grace's marriage:

Bartram Rachel Lincoln 7a 1164 JAS 1911
BRITTAN Harry R Lincoln 7a 1164 JAS 1911
Caney George H Lincoln 7a 1164 JAS 1911
Towers Grace A Lincoln 7a 1164 JAS 1911

You'd need to get the cert to be sure who Grace married. However the FreeBMD has no Brittan children with a Towers mother born in Lincolnshire, but has the following two Caney children with a Towers mother:

Births Mar 1912 (>99%)

Caney Percival G Towers Lincoln 7a 931

Hi Janet,


and welcome to the boards.

This is an older thread, so Poodles/Colleen is probably not checking it.

Might be better to click on her name to send her a pm.

Also worth using 'search trees' to check for others who have Grace or Lily Towers in their tree.

If you do find anyone, when you try and make contact, don't use the automated Genes message but replace it with a more personal one saying who you're interested in, and how you're related, and put the name of the subject in the header.

Good Luck!
