A pretty wedding took place on Tuesday afternoon between Charles Lemuel Bowman, son of the late Mr. David Bowman of Pamber Heath and Miss Rosa Gertrude Ward, daughter of Mr. John Ward of Pamber Heath. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. S. Steggall. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Matthias Ward. The bridesmaids were Drusilla Ward, sister of the bride, and Miss Elizabeth Bowman, Mrs. Louisa Doe, Mrs. Edith Adkins, sisters of the bridegroom, who wore dark blue dresses with white hats. The bride's dress was of light blue material with hat to match. The presents to the bride and bridegroom were good and useful.

Your last post is so lovely, thank you :-) :-)

I was wondering if I might ask for some more help please.
My father Albert Reginald Ward dob 18/03/1927 was married before he met my mother, Eda Di Blasi.
I did a bit or research and found a record of the marriage in 1946 in the district of Eton to someone with the surname Barrett. How can I find anymore information e.g. what her first name was and whether they had any children.
I do know my father had a relationship with a lady after his marriage ended and I believe her surname was Farrier and they had 4 children. I have located a tree with the m on and have messaged the tree owner but so far I have not had a reply but I wait in hope that they will get in touch and we can share trees.

Thank you

First marriage was to Ethel.

Looks like a possible son born in late 1946.

--------------------------------

You can see the index to the marriage and name of the son by searching here (using mother's maiden name Barrett):

Thank you AustinQ

Hi Tina-We seem to have the same father,I was born 1946.I am on Ancestry-all info concords.

John- welcome to the boards.

You have added to an old thread. Luckily Tins still seems to be a member of Genes.

Click on her name and send her a pm and if she has kept her email address she will be notified by Genes.

Genes do not send out notifications if a thread is added to and unless she checks her old threads she won’t spot your post.

Good luck

Names

If anyone can help me contact Tina Ward it would be nice.

Have you actually tried sending her a pm as I suggested? You may have to wait awhile for a reply.
