Notes
Marie was the eldest child of Thomas Wilson Jenner and Annie Susannah Holford, she was born in Lewes, East Sussex on 11 Nov 1898 and was 
baptized in the parish church of St Peter in West Firle on New Year's day 1899. Her mother was the second wife of Thomas Wilson, his first having 
died in childbirth leaving him with 2 sons, half-brothers to Marie and her younger sister, May. Soon after Marie's birth the family moved to 
Chichester and then in 1904 to Selsey living first in one of the Railway Cottages in Station Rd and then moving across the road to number 14 (later 
to become 22 Church Rd). Her parents were to remain in this house for the the rest of thier lives. She met Percy Thomas Glew but ended the 
relationship when she found out she was nearly 4 years older than him, fortunately not for long though and she was married in St Peter's Church, 
Selsey on 13 Jun 1923, aged 24. Her and Percy first lived in rented accommodation at 4 Lynton Villas, West St where her first child, Winifred May 
was born (1924). When Edward William Allan was born (1926) they were living in Lewis Cottage, the family house Percy Thomas had built with 
assistance from his father. Percy Basil was born here in 1927 but the loan (mortgage?) repayments were then more than Percy Thomas could afford 
so they rented Lewis Cottage out and moved into 6 Thorney, Coastguard Houses, West St where the rent was cheaper. Betty Jean Marie was born 
here in 1929. By the time Arthur Roy (b.1935) and Reginald Gordon (b.1937) were born the family had moved back to Lewis Cottage where they 
stayed until Marie died of a cerebral haemorrhage on 2 Feb 1962 aged 63. She was cremated at the Portslade Crematorium and her ashes interred at 
Church Norton cemetery on 9 Feb in the grave her daughter Betty had been buried in (her husband Percy was to follow 17 years later). In addition to 
her 6 children Marie was carrying a seventh child when in her early 40's but was to miscarry. Marie is my Paternal Grandmother.
Her gravestone inscription reads:
   IN / MEMORY OF / BETTY JEAN MARIE PARR / (NEE GLEW) / DIED 5TH OCT 1952
   AGED 23 / ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS / ALSO OUR DEAR MOTHER / BELOVED WIFE
   OF / PERCY THOMAS GLEW / WHO FELL ASLEEP / ON FEB 2ND 1961 / 11TH MAY
   1989 / PERCY THOMAS GLEW
Note that the date of Marie's death is incorrect on her gravestone and should read 2 Feb 1962, also it should be noted that Marie's name doesn't 
appear in the inscription.
