Thanks Merry. I appreciate you researching and posting these extra details.
I'm especially appreciative that you've found out his mothers name (Emma Bowden) - that is new to me. I guess I'll see that once I have his birth certificate.
I'm further convinced that we have the right person as his oldest daughter was called Mary Elizabeth (daughter Mary E, 6y 3m, as you note) and a son called George was the next born (George H, 1y 8m, as you note). Again, these are all VERY helpful bits of information.
You ask "What father's details are on the 1915 marriage cert?".
All there is his his name 'Henry Bowden' and Profession 'General Labourer'.
George and Amy's residence is noted as 'Scotts Hill Farm, Dunsford'
"Did you know you can download birth records from the GRO (up to 1923) for £2.50 and you don't have to wait for them!"
No... I didn't appreciate this! Thank you for the tip.
