Biography

Born 1886 Hendon

Owen Oscar Jay was born in 1886. [1]

Owen is the son of Henry or Harry Jay and Sarah Osborne who married in turn Richard Lamplugh, Henry Charles Hunt and Harry Jay, having at least one child with each.

Jay and Hunt in Willesden 1891

In 1891 father Harry Jay is back with Sarah and her family, though the three Lamplugh children have left them. Owen is the only one of the remaining four children to have his name registered at birth at the right time and place. [2]

Soldier in India 1911

In 1911 Owen Jay is 24 and serving in India as a private in the British Army in that country. [3]

Outbreak of Second World War

Owen is recorded in Romford, declaring his birthdate (clearly falsely) as 23 May 1889, and his job as heavy labourer, Gas Mains. He has a wife, Doris, though the marriage does not seem on record, even searching Oscar and Ewen as well as Owen. There is also a possible child redacted as potentially living. [4]

Widowed 1942 Romford

Although we have not found a record of Doris' marriage to Oscar, there is a record of her death as Doris Jay in Romford 1942. [5]

Marriage Romford 1943

The only marriage on record for Owen is when he is already 56 years old, in 1943 in Romford. London, England. [6]

Death in Romford 1956

Owen dies in Romford in 1956, aged 69. [7] It seems likely that his widow, Florence, remarries in 1962 in Stoke Newington. This makes calculation of her age and other details difficult.
