Hello, my mother was Lillian Chown, (b.1936)of York, England. Her parents were Reginald Percy Chown and Hilda Mary. ReginaldPercy had three sisters Florence, Laura and Beatrice (and one that died as a child, Lily). He had two brothers Fred and Horace (I think there may have been a third). Reginald Percy's father was John Charles Chown - he came to York with the army from Canterbury . In Canterbury, before coming to York he married Julia Miles. I can probably find dates if you would like to know them.
Best wishes Jane
