Is there an address on the death certs? If you google search you can find a list of areas/places in St Vincent, and there doesn't seem to be a Rose Cottage.

I stopped in St Vincent on a cruise - went on an island tour and the taxi driver stopped at the house of a lady from Liverpool so she could have a chat with us :-D

Hi all. Thanks for your help. Rose cottage is in St Vincent, I know this as my mum used to keep in touch with him. I do have a copy of his and his wifes death certificates which I manage to get from St Vincent. My aunt managed to get a point of contact in St Vincent when she stopped there while on a cruise a few years ago.

Thanks again Keith

Keith, can I just ask where you got his dates of birth and death from? Not wishing to be nosy, just adds to the sum of info we have.
It would be good to find where exactly they lived wouldn't it.
Also, does the area 'Rose Cottage[refer to St Vincent, or over here? There doesn't seem to be anywhere of that name in St. Vincent, but there is a Rose Bank and a Rose Hall.

'Hi Janet
The only thing that I can add to the info is they lived in an area called Rose Cottage.
Thanks Keith'

Could either of these be his marriage?

Keith, as you are so precise with his date of death, I wonder if you know any more about his life in St. Vincent?
For example, do you have any idea where he lived, or know of anyone who had contact with him and his wife? I am wondering if there is any way of contacting friends or neighbours, who might know something.
Might also be an idea to add 'USA/West Indies/UK' to your heading, just to catch the eye of anyone who might be able to offer more precise info.

Owen was born 20/04/1910 possibly in St Vincent . I have heard he married and had 2 sons, this may of involved living in America for a while. He served in the Army during the second world war before settling in the UK. He then married my aunt on the 20/08/1966 in Kings Cross London. They returned to St Vincent in the late 70s or early 80s where my aunt died soon after. Owen died on the 5/07/1999. Can anybody help me with info regarding his first marriage and possible sons. l dont have any living relatives to help and no further info available at present

Thanks Keith
