Parents Killed

rowan

Born a Brummie
Thanks to ChrisM I have been able to find the address of where
HARRY BOTT aged 57, NELLIE his wife and JOAN their daughter also PHYLISS age 19 (can't find her birth so don't know if she is a daughter)
killed in an air raid 1940

The question is as there were other children when this awful event happened?
HARRY F b 1927, RAY V b. 1929 and ARTHUR L b. 1933.

Did they survive and go on to marry and have children?

Can you help in this enigma please?:)
