Morse-Bowen - Swansea

[tjd]

Hi, I am new here so take care
Does anyone know of a person I believe came from Mumbles, Swansea.
The name I have is Thomas Edward Morse-Bowen.
My guess is he was probably born 1910-1920 and was a military person around 1946.
Not much to go on I know, but any little bit of information would be appreciated.

Almost ashamed to say, but I was told is a very close relative.
Parents name, I only just managed to find his name.

Thanks. The dates certainly fit. Where did the information come from and were any addresses stated?

[suzard]

the birth reg came from FreeBMD - as stated

To get full details you would need to purchase the certificates (can be oredered on line from GRO)
