Trying to find Bowler

My wife's grandmother was Alice Missen (born 1883 in SE London). She married a Thomas Wilkinson in 1909 and they had four sons Tom, Sid, John and Eric. However, her husband Thomas died in WW1 from Influenza in India in 1918. Alice went on to have a fifth son out of wedlock, named Ronald in 1921 (Ronald's father is not known but it could be a Mr Ramus). Ronald was raised as a Wilkinson with his four older half-brothers. Alice had one more son out of wedlock, named Leonard George Nathaniel in 1924 (known as 'Bobby'). Leonard's father was a pedlar from Munton Rd London SE17 called George Bowler. Sadly Leonard (Bobby) died in a road accident in 1933 aged 9. I wanted to trace descendants of either George Bowler or Mr Ramus. If these people or details ring a bell with anyone then please let me know on daveatjaundy.fsnet.co.uk. Thank you
