Using his birth date you should be able to find him on the 1939 Register with his parents

If you use freebmd   https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
you can see that his mothers maiden surname was Boyd.

Using the same source you can locate a Dowling / Boyd marriage (1925)

This site indicates that parents married at St John in Hebburn.

James Dowling and Elsie M Boyd married on 8 February 1925.

If you go on this local website below and click on the Tyne and Wear User Guides you will see that this archives holds the marriage registers at that Church covering the marriage date.
