Notes for Anthony P Towell MC


This is the only “Anthony Towell” on FindMyPast’s birth index:

First name(s) ANTHONY
Last name TOWELL
Birth year 1932
Birth quarter 4
Registration month -
Mother's last name Jennings
District Wellington (Somerset)
County Somerset
Country England
Volume 5C
Page 301
Record set England & Wales Births 1837-2006

On the other hand, the London Gazette always gave him the second initial of ‘P’, and this is the only birth index entry of Anthony P Towell on FindMyPast:

First name(s) ANTHONY P
Last name TOWELL
Birth year 1931
Birth quarter 2
Registration month -
Mother's last name Smith
District Potterspury
County Northamptonshire
Country England
Volume 3B
Page 23
Record set England & Wales Births 1837-2006
_______________

The second birth entry leads to four possible marriages:

Last Name First Name Born Died Event Record set  Location
Towell George F — — 1924 Hull, Yorkshire
Towell George W — — 1926 Tynemouth, Northumberland
Towell Oliver S — — 1928 Brentford, Middlesex
Towell Philip E — — 1930 Easthampstead, Berkshire

The easy way to sort these out is to get his birth certificate.  I don’t think the 1939 register would identify the parents, particularly as A P Trowell would be redacted and can’t be found anyway.
