Have you looked here:

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Put in Gowlett for the surname and Attwood for the spouse/mother's surname.

Have sent a pm to Laura giving details of how to use FreeBMD and also giving her two possible births.

There was also a marriage in 1947 for a Gowlett/Attwood could be children of them instead?

13 years after marriage seems a long wait to me

She might want to buy the marriage cert. in case Attwood wasn't Hilda's married name.

Not seeing a birth for a Hilda B Attwood, but there is this:

Marriages Jun 1926
Attwood Albert Newberry Hampstead 1a 1441
Newberry Hilda B Attwood Hampstead 1a 1441

This birth fits with the death for Hilda Bessie Gowlett:

Births Jun 1901
Newbery Hilda Bessie St Thomas 5b 29

I don't think she had any children with Frank. Of course, they may have adopted.

She had a child, Stanley, with Albert but he died.

Interesting to find out who you have written too??

Was it John and Susan? because they do not look like their children

As Rose has said. it does not look like they had any children
