All fits with info I posted earlier, which was not acknowledged. Thanks Shirley

Craig
I hope David is not living, as you have posted his birth date

And - again - please READ all the details on EVERY post, or there's no point in anyone bothering to try to help you

I was following them too in Canada but then saw you had posted the info that I also was finding

Was a fluke finding him on the 1939 register

Plus too on the ww1 attestment for Bertha husband David boas he does give Cecil and Jack dob unknown but born in Canada

Bertha also had children registered as Moore but no marriage

The last bit at the bottom, son of, was that on the register as well or from somewhere else, as I have always thought he was a son of Ernest and Bertha but could never find anything to prove that and never added John to my tree. a lot of people always thought that the name Bischoff was German but it's Swiss. I have name back to 1696.
You have just solved a big mystery for me as descendants are alive in NZ.

Thanks everyone
Craig

You are correct they are not related by blood, but the 2 son's changed there name to Towgood and there step father is connected, so they can still be added to my tree, plus there are descendants living in NZ, where I live.
The last I heard about the 3rd child, Jill she was living in USA.

I may not be very good at this, but how do you tell by the data at http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/BirthSearch.aspx
that the children were illegitimate.

RE http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/BirthSearch.aspx

Craig, when you look at the search result, you will see that there is nothing under the heading "Mother's former name". This indicates there is no "former/maiden name" because she has not married, and therefore Dixon is her maiden name.

Yes I did see that, okay.
I was in contact with a female descendant here in NZ.
Her father was David Leonard Bischoff Towgood/Dixon one of the children.
I will see if I can find her email which I had years ago, I have seen a Memorial to a David Bischoff Towgood 2015 with her name on it.
I will get back to you when I find her.
Shift worker so give me a few days.
