Gins I don't think that's the correct death- it was actually 1939- but the page it's on is headed 1938-1939. Document states he was a fireman born Liverpool.

A good find on the school record- so we now have his DOB- 2nd April 1891

I can't see an exact match on the 1939- but there are these two which hopefully someone may look up for us- both coming up as birth 2nd April 1892:

Fowler Household Weston-super-Mare M.B., Somerset, England
First name(s) Last name(s) Birth year
William Fowler 1892

Fowler Household Southall M.B., Middlesex, England
First name(s) Last name(s) Birth year
William ? Fowler 1892
Letitia A Fowler is also on this record

I am about to post a thread similar to this one.

I do hope it's not so complicated!

That could be him - good work

Fowler Household (1 Person)
21 Stanley Grove , Weston-super-Mare M.B., Somerset, England

William Fowler 02 Apr 1892 Male Coal Miner War Wounded Light Work Widowed 137 2

Heres the other one. He's either William T or William J


Fowler Household (2 People)
42 Orchard A , Southall M.B., Middlesex, England

William ? Fowler 02 Apr 1892 Male Railway Guard Inspector Married 268 1
Letitia A Fowler 05 Oct 1894 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 268 2

Thanks for posting Gins- I suspect the top one is our William despite him being listed as widowed. I think he'd been out of the marital home quite a while and it was probably easier to say he was widowed.

This is the nearest I can see for him

Thank you very much Gins.

I agree with you Austin.

If so, I do believe I am all done and dusted on this one now.

Except for Margaret of course. I will keep trying on that one.

I am thrilled with all this information.

Well done everyone and again, thank you all so much.

David.

Well- apart from Margaret A R Fox/ Fowler born 1912

So leave it open just in case!

Yes I edited Austin to say just that.

:-)

Just throwing this one out there! Margaret' father James Robinson Fox appears to have died in 1912 (if I've got the right one)

I wonder if Margaret was looked after by her grandmother, Jane Ann Robinson? Did Margaret become a 'Robinson' ?

Thank you Gins.

She is a mystery!
