Re: Info needed

Hi Moira
Thank you for that info, it seems to tie in with the previous information you found.

Re: Info needed

Hi Ann,

I have found a marriage between a Lilian Jean Ovens to a Verdon Smith,
25 Dec 1912 at St. Luke, Hollis Croft.
She gives her address as 17/3 Scotland Street and that her father
was David Ovens (deceased), farrier.

This would tie in with the David Ovens who was in the
Ashburners Light Horse.

Re: Info needed

Hi Moira
Thank you for that information, yes it does tie in with the previous information. i actually found a birth for lilly in ireland but i assumed it was the wrong one until now, you have confirmed her full name so i'm certain it is the right one

Thank you
Regards
Ann
