I think John Bauer(Bower) was my great grandfather and one of his sons - John Bower was my father's father.
My father was illegitimate. His mother Eleanor Burns had an affair with her brother in law(John Bower).
His wife was his aunt Mary Burns, my grandmother's sister.
They had a child - Ronald Bower.( My fathers half brother and cousin) My father and Ronnie were pork butchers in Newcastle.
Just received John and Mary's marriage certificate dated 1919. Both are shown as 21 years old. The address on this is 10 Bridge Street, Newcastle upon Tyne. The same address as was listed on your post from the 1911 censor. I'm a bit confused over names, we have a John George and a George John, is this the same person? Dates of birth don't add up. John would have been born 1898. Your post shows John George born 1895 and George John 1897.
I've found war records of a John George from Newcastle born 1895 with German parentage. Is this my grandfather?
You mention in your post that one of German John Bower's 10 children was your grandfather also.
Who was that?
Also, did you see the Newcastle Chronicle about butchers shops in Newcastle being ransacked in 1914. There is a picture of John Bower's Butchers shop on Westgate Road?
Thanks
