Thanks for your input.
I don't know when cremation started but 1932 seems a bit early.

Just checked Probate Records and his entries reads:
Thomas William James Rowles pf 19 Grove Hill Road, Harrow, Middlesex died 30 December 1932 at 19 Cambridge Street, Walmer, Kent.
Maybe he was visiting someone when he died or in hospital there.
Is it possible his body was sent back to Harrow do you think.
