This led to a marriage with a Erice P Clark/Clare/Haynes which could be a second marriage for her, particularly as she was a few years older than him. In 1920 in Bedford.
A search for infants, particularly George E T gave a single forenamed George Townsend born in Birmingham South district in 1925 with a mother’s maiden name of Bishop.
I give up!
