Victor Royce Lightowler
« on: Monday 28 June 21 18:12 BST (UK) »
Help please,
I'm searching for the parents of Victor Royce Lightowler born Wetherby 1911. I have a marriage to Kathleen Mary Peace in 1935 but short of buying a certificate I'm drawing a complete blank.
Thanks

His middle name could be a clue to who his father was but no guarantees

Could be Carole. I've tried with the usual web sites but no joy so far.
I'm assuming that there could be a spelling mistake at some point.There are many ways of spelling 'Lightowler' sometimes they are picked up and sometimes not.

He died 1996 & death reg shows birthdate as 30.1.1911.  Is he on the 1911 census?

I can't find him in 1911, I've also tried Royce Lightowler.

There is a private tree which has his birth as Boston Spa.

1911 shows one Lightowler in the area but no child.
