Richard Report 3 Nov 2023 11:10

Could someone please give me details in relation to the following:-

Alfred Low born 1874. In1921 he was a widower living at the Old Rectory Chingford. I believe he remarried and that in 1939 he was living at Copford Place, London Road, Copford Essex.

I am also interested in the 1939 address for his son Louis Victor Low (1901). He married Gwendoline 'Maggie' Ward in 1925 and had 2 children in the between 1925 and 1933. He was probably living in Loughton Essex in 1939.
