I am looking for an Ernest Arthur Vowles born 1908 in the Newport, Monmouthshire district please.

I would also like to know who he was living with at the time too. EG: parents, siblings and address.

Thanks Nala.

Good morning Prickly Holly and thank you.

you did not give me time to digest my breakfast !!!

That is great I now have a parent(s) name to go back for the 1901 etc.

I do know that around 1937 Ernest was married and moved to the Birmingham area so he may be found in the 1939 register but that is for another day perhaps.

Once again Thank You. Nala.
