BOWLES GEORGE HENRY 26 April 2013 26 June 2013 4102010 PROBATE Oxford

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

As I posted some time ago, the wife died in SLOUGH............so spread your net ;-) ;-)

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

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

His birth was REGISTERED in 1921

Name Leslie Arthur Bowles
Death Age 77
Birth Date 26 Nov 1920
Registration Date Nov 1997
Registration district Biggleswade
Inferred County Bedfordshire
Register Number 32C
District and Subdistrict 3101
Entry Number 258

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 ?

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1938 (>99%)
Bowles George H Robinson Hitchin 3a 3026
Gale Allan L Wilkins Hitchin 3a 3026
Robinson Winifred M Bawles Hitchin 3a 3026
Wilkins Mabel L Gale Hitchin 3a 3026

Potters Bar handled and sorted most of UK mail and parcels in many years gone by.

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
