Yes, Annie was just 18 when they married, may be because of the threat of imminent war. Frances was born 1940 and her brother, John Edward, in 1942. He never saw his Dad until 1946 when he returned home from Burma.

Thanks Shirley, I have this info already apart from the Collier/Powell wedding date. I forgot that Fran's Aunty Ett's name was Collier. As usual, we searchers are like Oliver Twist...Can I have some more please? Take care. God Bless. D.
