Who is Lucy Seow?
There is an article which mentions of a Miss Nancy Seow (eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Seow Beng Cheng) who married Mr. Sim Meah Ser (youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Sim Piak Cheng) on 12th October 1940. The marriage took place at 390 Joo Chiat Road. It is possible that Miss Nancy Seow could be the sister of Miss Lucy Seow.In another article, there was mentioned that a Mrs. Koh Siak Keong (nee Tan Chit Neo) passed away at 390 Joo Chiat Road on 28th May 1951. She leaves behind the only daughter, Mrs. Seow Beng Cheng nee Madam Koh Cheng Neo and several grand and great grandchildren. From this article, Miss Lucy Seow mother is likely Madam Koh Cheng Neo and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.Koh Siak Keong,
