HI All, This is a strange request, but I am hoping that as the world gets smaller and genealogy becomes an addictive hobby to more and more people, someone may recognise my "lost" Althea. She may have come from London, or Bedfordshire, or anywhere else for that matter, but asshe was living in Lonon in 1939 and her husband came from Luton in Bedfordshire, it is a starting place. This is all I have on her, so if someone thinks she could be theirs, I would love to hear from them. In the 1930's an Althea became the wife of Claude Charles Underwood - no marriage certificate. Claude was killed in February 1939 on his way to work. At that time Claude and Althea were living at 73 Evelyn Avenue, Kingsbury, London. He was involved in a car/motor bike accident and died at Hendon where he is buried. Althea paid for his funeral and a double grave. In 1941 when his will (approximately £120) was administrated, Althea did not claim in and it went into Government coffers, and they won't give it back, I tried. Nor was Althea buried in the double plot. It remains empty. Claude was my grandfather and in the late 1920s/early 1930s (in Luton/Bedford) he used to drive a truck up and down outside his house with a redhead as passenger, just to stir up nan. My grandparents then split, nan staying in Bedford and Claude going to London. I don't know if the redhead and Althea were one in the same. It is possible that Claude and Althea had more children, but not knowing her surname I cannot find them as Underwood is a common surname. I have checked the CWG site, but cannot find an Althea Underwood on the list I am hoping against hope that someone has an Althea that fits the above description, such as it is. An even longer shot - say about 1,000,000 to one is that her surname could have been Gentel. However, it is a longshot, but if any Gentle/Gentel researchers read this and have a connection to the Underwood or Craft surnames I would love to hear from them anyway as that is another story. Thankyou for any help or advice that might be forthcoming. Have a good day. Sue in Australia.
