Hello John
I may be clutching at straws but I have an Edith Bowry b1894 whose father was Charles b 1869, her mother was also called Edith. Could this be the same as your mother? If you would like to view my family tree it is available on genesreunited.co.uk. If you think it is the same family please let me know and we might be able to swap some more info.

Regards
Sheila Bartley nee Bowry
