There's a lady on this site with George in her tree too - you can type his name in the quick search boxes at the top of the page, scroll through the results till you find the George born in 1872 and contact her. It could prove costly to buy certs without further information - there are quite a few Bowkett births listed between 1901 and 1920 on freebmd - take a look for yourself at www.freebmd.org.uk .It's no trouble to contact the ancestry member - will let you know if they reply. Good luck! |

my grandad would like to see the birth certificates of the 2 girls in gravesend. He wants to see these to see if he can take it any further. I wouldn't want it to take you that much time and trouble to conatct this other member. |

You're welcome. I wouldn't hold too much store by the births in Gravesend, it was just a guess and as George GW was born Wandsworth, they're unlikely to be relevant. I'll email the ancestry member on your behalf if you'd like - they may be able to help you further. Which original documents is your grandad referring to? Birth/marriage/death certs are available from www.gro.gov.uk for £7 each. |

thank you so much your findings still fit with what my grandad originally thought - that he may of had 3 half sisters. |

There is an ancestry member with your George in his/her tree, although they don't have his marriage to Mary. It might be worth emailing them to see if they have further info. They are shown as having a child, George G W Bowkett b.1908, which fits with this birth ref: |

Unfortunately, mother's maiden names weren't shown on the indexes until 3rd quarter 1911. There were no Bowkett mmn Rodgers children after this time. Found these two births for Gravesend, but it's a longshot: |
