Hi, I am trying to find any information on Catherine Green. She was my great grandmother. She was born in 1879 and married Alexander Bowen in 1901.I know they had six sons and I think two daughters Catherine and Rose but I haven't been able to find any information on the girls other than one of them could have been deaf. Catherine left Alexander at some point and I know the boys stayed with there dad. I have no other information on Catherine or the girls and would like to know if anyone has anymore information on this part of my family.

Just a possible

Marriages Sep 1933 (>99%)

Bowen Rose Luscombe Islington 1b 750
LUSCOMBE Charles W G Bowen Islington 1b 750

There is a tree on Ancestry for Charles Luscombe, no parents named for Rose, might be worth joining and asking if they have more details, there were children of the marriage.

There's a tree on Ancestry that says Catherine married a George Ralph. There's a death for a Catherine Ralph in Islington and she had a June 1900 birthday.

Could fit with this birth:

Births Jun 1900
Green Catherine Poplar 1c 691

Rose

Do you have an exact dob for Catherine senior?

Alexander appears to have moved to Monier Road (137 in 1914) and at 161 Monier Road from 1918 to his death in 1954. Various sons showing up as they reached voting age, and probate going to Alexander & Robert.

No sign of Catherine so she must have left by 1918 - she would have been eligible to vote by then.

The Catherine Green born 1900 Poplar seems to show with parents in 1901 and 1911 censuses.

Just to state that the 1911 census posted says 6 children born, 6 living.
