When did his mother die?

My info (Times obit of his step-father, Edgar Rennie Bowring, 24 June 1943: 7) has his mother dying in 1939 not 1898. Quote "In 1888, he married Flora Munn, daughter of the Hon. James Clift. She died in 1939." I can also find items about "Lady Bowring" attending events with him in 1919 and her death mentioned (Saturday, Jun 24, 1939; pg. 17) as having taken place on the previous Thursday in Newfoundland. --Erp (talk) 02:35, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's a strange one, @Erp:. I was going off of this article, which states that Lady Bowring died in 1898 and her son became Sir Edgar's ward, for what (I presumed) would have been quite a brief period (given he was born in 1880). But given all sources that say she died in 1939, I can't see that being right. Not sure where that author got the 1898 date from – maybe when Sir Edgar adopted/assumed guardianship of John Munn, the author just assumed Flora Munn had died?

Note at that time the age of majority would have been 21 not 18; however, it is an odd error. A bit of this is distant family history to me as Edgar Rennie Bowring was a first cousin of one of my great great grandfathers. --Erp (talk) 04:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
