He is a witness at his sister's marriage (if this is the correct family) - the fathers occupation is the same:

Spouse Age: 24
Record Type: Marriage

And her christening:

Added, looks like I'm getting too slow - this has already been posted!

Dea ....... looks pretty conclusive.

I think Dea has nailed it with that baptism!

Thank you MarieCeleste .... I know the feeling looking for John Dowling . every one seems to have named their sons John.

I think this confirms the 1881?

There were a few John Dowlings born around the same time with father name John.

There is a tree on ancestry that has assigned his parents as John Frederick Dowling and Emma Dovey, however I'm not convinced about that as the father's occupation on baptism is coachmaker.

This is that baptism:

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: John Dowling - birth date 9 December 1867
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 30 Dec 1867
Father's Name: John Frederick Dowling - Coachmaker
Mother's Name: Emma Dowling
Parish or Poor Law Union: St Pancras Old St Pancras
Borough: Camden
Register Type: Parish Registers

Family lived Coburg Street.

It's quite possible that the tree owner accepted one of Ancestry's hints without verifying.

Hello Dea ....... that looks promising.

Mike ....... from your post it looks like father called Thomas. Our dad is John

Thank you both
