Try as I might I cannot find the death of George Henry Bowles. He was born 1910 in Biggleswade and the last place I can find him is in 1948, he is a postal worker in Maidstone. There is one death in Maidstone but the ages don't quite match so I am not sure it is definitely him. |

A possibility? A Q4 birth reg. could have him born anytime from mid August to end of December. The year is one out but an easy mistake |

I couldn't find him on 1939 Erica.He was supposidly in London with the GPO in 1938. On 1911 census he was 4 months old. I couldn't find a marriage for him either. I have looked on Ancestry, FMP and Freebmd |

1911 census was taken Sunday 2 April so if 4 months old likely born November 1910 to very early December. |

Yes, I posted the birth in Biggleswade. Until you told us his age was 4m in 1911, the 1998 death could have been a possibility, (ages often a year out) but with the Nottingham birth that more or less proved it couldn't be yours. |

According to 1921 census, which I posted for you, Leslie was born in 1920........ |

That marriage sound very possible as he was with the GPO in Hitchin. |
