Family 2 William James HOWE, b. 8 May 1905, d. 8 Jan 1970, Chatham Reg Dist, Kent, England (Age 64 years) Married Mar Q 1943 Chatham Reg Dist, Kent, England - GRO ref: Fleck or Petts, Clara A to Howe, William A q1 1943 Chatham RD 2a 2270
(The registrations like this with 2 names for a woman, i.e. maiden name as well as married name at the time of remarriage seem to be where the woman was divorced rather than a widow remarrying)
There seem to have been no other Howe = Petts marriages, so I think the children shown are probably of this couple, although born before they married. It is possible that there was another couple where the husband was a Howe and married a widow whose maiden name was Petts.
