Kathleen Dorothy Mabel Clark brn 1913 Strood, Kent

Hello, I have this lady born 1913 in Strood, Kent. She marries a Percy E Collins in 1935 in Malling, Kent. Not sure what the E stands for in Percy's name. I find Kathleen living at 10 Sterling Road, Sittingbourne, Kent in 1969 when her mother dies. Kathleen goes on to live until 1994 and dies in Swale, Kent. Am looking for information on Percy, have no idea when he was born and also if they had any children. It may well be I have to purchase the marriage certificate but am trying to save on costs if possible.

As ever, any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Kathryn

Hi Jan, thank you for that information. Do we know if they had any children? Probably quite a common name though.

Kind regards

Have just found Percy E Collins living at 10 Sterling Road, Sittingbourne, Kent in the 1984 Telephone Directory. Unfortunately the listings don't seem to go beyond that date. But at least I now know for sure this was Kathleen's husband. Although am not sure where Swale is, well I know it is in Kent but don't know if Sittingbourne comes under Swale.

Kind regards
