Previous thread with lots of info:

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1397315

To summarise -

Lillian died 1913, and Charles remarried, to Ella Bristow in 1919.

Gwendoline was the only child of Charles's first marriage, and he had 2 children with Ella - a son who didn't marry and died during WW2, and a daughter who married and had 2 children, born in Exeter in 1944 and 1955.

Info about them on the other thread, as well as the names of Charles's siblings and info about some of them.

Please continue on the older thread, rather than this new one, otherwise people will repeat research already done, as indeed Maddie has done.
