Two more births which gives the mother's maiden name as Leary, so that answers the question of Horace's wife.

Mar 1909 8b, 275, W. Derby
George Leonard Bowring

Sep 1911, 8b/446 W. Derby
Florence E. Bowring
Mother's m/s Leary

Hi Jen

Thanks once more. I didn't have any info regarding siblings. I have a marriage cert (1943) for James Frank BOWRING age 32, BACHELOR, Plumber Journeyman, address 55 Thorpe Street, Stockton on Tees, fathers name Horace Leonard (deceased). He married my mother.

I am awaiting marriage cert (1932) of James Frank to Hylda Wilkinson to confirm it is the same James Frank. If it is, it may be a bigamous marriage. I have found James Frank's death in 1972. But my mother remarried as a widow in 1950.

I know Hylda BOWRING nee Wilkinson died 1990s.

Mum and Frank had a daughter whom I am trying to trace who I think was adopted at some point - no date.

I have left messages on Genes Reunited for BOWRINGs in Stockton with the hope that they will get back to me

All help gratefully received.

Regards
Keziah

Hi Keziah, i have just seen your message.

If we are on the same tracks frank bowring was my grandad and hilda bowring was my nana.
I know he was from the liverpool area and had 5 children with hylda one of which was my dad. I never met him as he died before i was born. What relation was he to you? I think this is all the same person we are talking about.

Speak to you soon
Vicki
