I am trying to find out what happened to William Alfred Owen b 1880 in Sheffield. (Heeley area) Father was George Alfred Owen and mother was Fanny Owen (nee Perry) He married Nellie Banks in 1903 and from there I lose him. Any clues that I could follow up would be appreciated.

Do you have these possible children?:

GRO Births JUN Qtr 1914
OWEN Thomas (mother's maiden name: BANKS)
Ecclesall B. 9c 963

GRO Births JUN Qtr 1923
OWEN Charles H (mmn: BANKS)
Ecclesall B. 9c 734

This index lists mmn from SEP Qtr 1911, so there may be other children of this couple born 1903-1911 (lots of OWENs born in Sheffield in that span).

Thanks for replying. Thomas was my father and Charles was one of his brothers. I know the names of all siblings. It is their mother's husband that I am trying to get some information on. He was not the father of her children. The marriage must have ended sometime around 1910 but I cannot find any record of William Alfred Owen having died at that time or any other come to that. He could have died during World War 1 I suppose but I have not been able find any record of this happening. If you have any advice to offer I would be grateful. I would seem to be at a complete standstill with almost every branch of my family tree.
