Lizzie Bunn and Francis Handy married in late 1901 in Kidderminster.

I would like to find out if they had any children and where did they live after their marriage?

I think there was a son named Percival but I cannot be 100% syre.

Any help appreciated. Nala.

Thanks Stuart,


"Uncle Percy" did become a very well known figure in the Gas Industry in Brazil.

Thanks for leading me to him. Nala. :-D

I'm presuming because Nala has marked the thread as complete then she may not be interested in any further information. However, I'll post it just in case she does look back.

There are quite a few passenger lists for John P C Handy, gas engineer, born 26/04/1906. On several he is accompanied by Beryl Handy, born 28/08/1911.

On a few records their c/o address in England is 39, Limes Avenue, Aylesbury, Bucks.

On one of the records John and Beryl are accompanied by Frances M Handy born 1935 and John K Handy born 1933. (Can't get image to display at the moment to see their birthplaces).
