Walter Russell CAWTHORN & Grace SCOTT



        My grandparents, Walter and Grace were married - by licence - on 11 November 1914 at the United Methodist Church, 
        Little Church Street, Wisbech - the same church where my PALMER grandparents were married 2 years before!
        Walter was 23 and Grace 22; Walter's occupation is given as "Grocer's son".

        The witnesses were Anne M. SCOTT, Grace's mother and Dorothy M. LAVENDER, a cousin.

        Walter & Grace had 7 children - all but one born at "Riversdale", Upwell Road, Christchurch:
 
Hugh born 8 Dec 1914 died 3 January 2001
May born -- baptised Christchurch Methodist Chapel?
Ruby born 30 Aug 1920 died 30 December 1999
Eric born -- baptised Christchurch Methodist Chapel?
Frank** born 1924 baptised Christchurch Methodist Chapel?
Joan born September 1926 Died 10 May 1928
Doris born -- baptised Christchurch Methodist Chapel?
**My father. Walter Russell CAWTHORN is the lynchpin to all the CAWTHORNs, RUSSELLs & SCOTTs in my research - his father was a CAWTHORN; his mother was a RUSSELL and he married a SCOTT! I never knew my grandmother, as she died of cancer on 31 October 1947. Her entry in the 1st Christchurch Burial Register is the very last one - No. 800. Walter died 30 August 1966. He and Grace are buried together in Christchurch Churchyard.
