Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 57 Send Message	My Gt.Aunt Beaty (Beatrice) died over 100yrs old in c!990s in Weston-Super-Mare, had 3 daughters Evelyn, ?, & Sybil, lived in Slough for long time & believe daughters born there. Beatrice was my grandfather's sister but believe she may have been born of a different father (mother Mary (nee Fulman Bigg b.1843 Oxford). My Gt.Grandfather George Howe b.22.02.1843 Williton, Somerset. Would love help as I named my first daughter Nicola after Sybil's daughter Nicola. Valerie

Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 57 Send Message	Hi Joanna Apologies if I have given you this info before. My Grandad was William Harcourt Howe b 16.2.1881 in Oxford. Beatrice was the elder of two sisters who both lived there married lives in Slough - Beatrice married name Meredrew. Know she died in Weston-Super-Mare approx 101. Her sister evidently Marie C. (this was news to me) as I had always called her my Auntie Cis/Cissie, she was always a widow so far as I knew, she had a lodger who I always called Uncle Bob but knew they weren't married. Valerie
