Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 4, 2023 16 hours ago, Ulitzer95 said: Yes, I can help @Canadian Paul with one of these (if he's even still reading this). Eddie Bowey (wiki) is dead. Eddie Bowey's real name was Edwin Bowey as per Olympedia. They have his DOB as 5 Jan 1926. A quick glance at FreeBMD reveals that there was only one Edwin Bowey born between 1920 and 1930: Eddie Bowey b. 1928, Edmonton, London A glance at the GRO Index reveals his fate – Edwin Bowey b. 1928 d. Q2/2016, Enfield, London. A further search in 192.com shows an Edwin "Eddie" Bowey at a London address... until he falls off the register in 2016. I am, just busy with a lot of projects, but thanks for the update! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
