Hi,
Can anyone help with finding Arthur Bowles, born around 1896 Leicester, and died about the same year. Son of Harry Bowles, b1872 Bradford Yorkshire and Charlotte M Ayto, b 1873 Leicester. I believe he was the first born and had a brother born in 1899 Leicester. Harry and Charlotte were married c1896 Leicester.
Regards
Julie

If he was born and died very soon after, and did not live long enough to be on a census, then the places to "find" him will surely be his birth and death? And, as you know his parents and his year of birth/death etc, then have you already got these? What else are you hoping for?

Harry's marriage from FreeBMD:
Harry Bowles JunQ 1896 Leicester 7a 486
On same page: Charlotte Mortimer Ayto
-
1901 has Harry and Charlotte with 3 children; John (b 1899), Frederick (b 1901) and Grace E (b 1900).
Have you looked for them on 1911 census? That should show how many children were born and how many had died.
Just checked Grace's birth registration using the new GRO Index; mother's name shown as Mortimer.

Hi,
I am looking for my sister who has all the info. We have been to Wigston family history centre without luck. Nothing so far on births and deaths.

In case you dont have Harrietts Birth Reg and Mothers maiden name;
AYTO, HARRIOT, ASHER*****
GRO Reference: 1837 S Quarter in GRANTHAM UNION Volume 14 Page 284
Thomas AYTO, Bachelor, married Hannah ASHER, Spinster, 20 May 1835, St Guthlac, Little Ponton, Lincolnshire
Witnesses, JOHN /ANN Ayto
So looks like Harriet is with her possible Grandfather in 1841 Census i Little Ponton;
John Ayto, 50
Ann Ayto, 20
Mary Ayto, 15
George Ayto, 5
Harriet Ayto, 3***
There is also a possible Marriage for JOHN Ayto to Mary SKIRRET 16 May 1808 same Church.
Likely Parents of Thomas and Grandparents of Harriet

Hannah Ayto died 1838, GRO Index has her as AYLO age 22
Thomas remarried to Charlotte BUGG 1844
(Marriage is on FreeREG and his Father is John)
GEORGE Ayato christened 14 Oct 1835 Gt Gonerby to THOMAS/HANNAH
1851 Thomas is born c 1809 which fits with Baptism in Grantham 28 Nov 1808 for him to JOHN/MARY
