Trying to find Bowler

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find out details of Henry Frank Bowler, born 18 August 1898 in Lewknor, Thame, Oxon. His mother was Rose Bowler, unmarried, and in the 1901 census he is listed as grandson in the household of his grandparents John Bowler and Mary Ann Yeates in Hollybush Farmhouse, Lewknor - the place of his birth. We know he served in the army in WWI and was demobbed in 1921. On his army papers his next of kin is given as Mary Bowler, presumably his grandmother. From here we can find no trace of him - no marriage, no children. There is a family rumour that he found his way to Australia but have no confirmation. Can anyone help with his movements after 1921? I might have some cousins out there I know nothing about - Henry would be my uncle.
