If anyone on GR is researching them, you will find out by looking in 'search all trees'

Do you have any more precise location info? 'London' is rather vague

Have you done any research yourself? http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

And what do you wish to know.......you haven't actually said...........

I doubt that the son was registered as Bobby..find his birth on freebmd for factual info. You'll also find the births of his probable siblings on there

How do you relate to this people?

Some idea of your connection to them would help us to help you

Bobby might be Robert C (edit should have typed G) Carrington b 1922 in Hammersmith reg district.

You can find his birth reg, and that of a possible sibling on

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Select births
Surname Carrington
Mother surname Gower

And a date range of your choice, in this instance 1920-1930.

To look for connection, use the search all trees on this site and send a message to anyone else who may list them.

There are too many possible births for the four people whose double marriage is posted above............you need the cert(s) for ages.......and fathers' details to enable any search to have a chance of being accurate

Buy the marriage cert..................it will give you the info you need to make a start, as it will tell you his AGE. You can't hope to find out anything without knowing when the man was born

freebmd is very easy to use..........look for the brother's details

:-D

It was an error in typing. The C is smudged on the image, so could have been mistaken for a G by the transcriber.

With no obvious deaths in Essex for Arthur J Carrington to give his d/yob, it does seem that chloeandlily might have to buy the Gower/Carrington MC for £9.25 from

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Reggie might have found the birth and death - the only way for sure is to get the MC to confirm.
