Where are they believe to have married? There's no obvious marriage in 1920.

If you have Fred's birth and or marriage certificate, what details are on those? This is try and find the earlier John and work forward.

As this board is for looking for LIVING relatives, look for additional Brooks/Owen children on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ and subsequent marriages and deaths for all of them. The informant on the death Certs could be a living relative.

Search all members trees on this site to see if anyone has the names given listed. Send them a message to find out more.

Have fun :-)
