A local author here in Norwich is working on a tv script of the story of Rosa and James Kowen and trying to find out what happened to their two sons, Reginald and Clifford.
Mr Kowen died in a fire at his Norwich home at Christmas 1905 and his wife was accused of murdering him.

It seems that during the trial and when Rose was committed to Hellesdon Mental Hospital, the boys were looked after by either a family friend or members of the family.
After that, the trail goes cold. Mr M. Chandler is hoping someone has stories which might help his research.

If there is anyone who knows someone of this name who might be connected to the family, pm me and I will forward Mr C's details to contact him.
