Margaret Ellen BOWEN

1889 - 1977  (87 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Margaret Ellen BOWEN
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	28 Nov 1889	Wigan, Lancashire, England
  	Actual date from death registration (1939 registration shows 28 Nov 1890); actual place from the 1921 census GRO ref: Bowen, Margaret Ellen q4 1889 Wigan RD 8c 65; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Jones Although Margaret is shown to have been known as Margaret GARDNER as well as BOWEN before she married (when her son Donald's birth was registered)  I can find no Gardner / Bowen marriage that could be hers; it would seem that the alias was not due to a marriage prior to that to John GOTHAM. In line with this, the 1921 census shows her as single and with the surname BOWEN.
  Gender	Female
  Occupation	1939
  	Teacher of Dancing
  	In the registration, also shown as having unpaid domestic [duties]. Her father was a musician / music teacher, which seems a likely profession for the father of a dance teacher.

  	Her home at the time of her death
  Died	10 Aug 1977	Stockport, Lancashire, England
