Thanks for replies.
I've looked at gov.UK link for will, so think this is way to go, as I live in stoke on Trent, and wouldn't be able to get to Bournemouth to look at records in person.
Many thanks for your help

The registers weren't compiled during the war

I don't know how much you know about all  their children, so the following may help

I  looked up the family in the 1901 and 1911 census, from that I was able to work out that all the children were married in the area.

George W married LOIS M HAYDOCK in 1923,  George died in Poole in 1930 and Lois remarried in 1933 to Thomas BARNES
Mary Maud married CECIL G FELTHAM in 1925
Beatrice Annie married HENRY J WOODFORD in 1927
Kathleen married ERNEST G SMITH in 1930
Emily married ARTHUR J MILLER in 1926

There are no deaths in the Bournemouth area for a suitable George LINTON, so the 1918 death has to be the right man

His wife Mary Elizabeth died in Bournemouth, 18 January 1949, she was living at 98 Capstone Rd., three streets away from  Malmesbury Park Rd.  Probate was granted to Emily ( widow of Arthur MILLER).
Boscombe Grove Rd would have been only about a mile from both the above address, a simple walk before the dual carriageway was built.

Rosie,Jebber dawnsh thanks for all your help and input.

All the information and facts I have, concerning soldier George and my George point me to the fact that they are the same man. I haven't got 100% proof, but think if C.S.I were involved we could get a result, due to circumstantial evidence

My George was born in Lewisham_ soldier born Lewisham
My George married to Mary Linton_ soldier married to m.Linton
My George lived in Bournemouth_ soldier enlisted Bournemouth
My George was a baker_ soldier was enlisted into army service corps before kings royal rifle Corp. I've since discovered that the men with service number concurrent to soldier George , and posted with George, were mostly transferred from army service corps, into kings royal rifle Corp. Quite a few of these men were bakers on surviving service records and a few on 1911 census records.
My George lived boscombe grove road, Bournemouth on 1911 census_ soldier George  adress on war graves commission given as malmesbury road Bournemouth in 1918, also capstone road Bournemouth where Mary Linton is living are just over a mile apart.
Also no death records for George in and around Bournemouth area, when as jebber has discovered, the rest of the family lived, married and died in this area, which gives pointers to George death away from area ie, in france/Flanders in 1918.

I don't know, but does anybody agree , that we've got the right man, or can a defence lawer, throw a spanner in the works 

Thanks again
Mark

I don't think there is any doubt.
