Ah that fooled me because I was not sure he married :-)
Slough is not in Dorset as posted Erica ;-) it is Bucks.

That marriage sound very possible as he was with the GPO in Hitchin.
That may well be him on the 1939 at Potters Bar then Erica

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.

The marriage ?

He was definitely born in Biggleswade Greyghost.

That would be Leslie as he was born in 1921. Erica

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

ErikaH's find would "fit".

There is only one other birth of a George H Bowles 1909 - 1911 and that is Q4 1909 Nottingham

GPO was a Civil Service job at that point in time
