EriKa

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

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

EDIT - not now we know he was 4 months old at the time of the 1911 census

Dob 6/11/1910. as per 1939 register, if I have the right man

The wife died in 1999, in DORSET

Births Dec 1910 (>99%)
BOWLES George E Bramley 9b 204
BOWLES George H Biggleswade 3b 276

Deaths in Maidstone

George H Maidstone Q1 1949 - age 60 so nowhere near correct and probate shows George Harold

George Q1 Maidstone 1969 - age 81 so again well out and no second initial

George Q4 Maidstone was born 1922 and is George Edward

Was he married - if so what was her name and age

Do you know his actual DOB? Deaths post mid 1970's give DOB

Is he an open record on the 1939 Register?

Where have you looked for the death?

Age at death is only 'as known'..........................did he marry?

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.
