On my tree i have a Nicholas Christopher Lewis he was born Ireland Dec 1895 he was known as Chris and that is what is on his Death/Marriage/army papers.
I believe he wed a Alice Banbury/Banbery 1919 Wolverhampton and his daughter Ellen M Lewis was born the following year. I cannot find any more children for him or Alice. They moved to Dartmouth Kent at some point and he died there 15 Nov 1972 his address there was 104 Broomfield Rd Swancombe. The thing is a Florence Rose Lewis was informant and im trying to find out if that was a second wife? Canf find death for Alice or a marriage of him to a Florence. Thought maybe it was a daughter in law but as i said i have not found anymore children for him and Alice can anyone help??
