Died in an RTA in 1967 in the Ashford Kent area. My recently discovered grand father.
was married to my gran Patricia Maud Thorpe divorced soon after. He married an Annie F Winters and that's all I know pretty much

I have had a little dig around and it looks likely that this is George' birth

Winters George D Mayers Poplar 1c 687

Given that the mothers name is 'Mayers', George had 6 siblings which you can find here if you add the surname of both parents with a date range from 1915 - 1929
