well, I've already given one hypothesis for the children's name


Assuming that the Jack Bowler who died in 1918 is YOURS



IF Adeliza had children after her husband's death but before she married again ............. the children are given his surname because it is now her surname AND he is also named as the father


it's the legal defintiion ....... the husband is deemed the father of any children born of a marriage UNLESS the birth father agrees to be named



If the mother doesn't tell the Registrar that she is a widow (or divorced) ........... then he won't know any difference!

Hi Sylvia.
Thankyou for your reply.
This all started because I found out on the Marriage Certificate that John Bowler states Yorks Light Infrantry Lance Corparol.
So I thought I would find his W.W.1 Records , John Bowler born Nottingham 1888 ---died 1918 killed.
So it might be my John Bowler
So I will have to find out ???
