Notes for Patrick Walter Low
His birth index:

Name:                   Mother's Maiden Surname:
LOW, PATRICK WALTER     COBHAM  
GRO Reference: 1910  J Quarter in SOUTH STONEHAM  Volume 02C  Page 111
____________________

His death index:

Name:                    Year of Birth:  
LOW, PATRICK WALTER      1910  
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q1/1988 in SHEPWAY  (5732)  Volume 16  Page 1607

This led to finding his birth, shewn above.
The FindMYPast death index, probably copied from the printed GRO index sheets includes that he was born on 5th May 1910.

He might have married before he and Rowan came together.  These are possibilities from FindMyPast:

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth  Year  Location
Low        Archibald W P  —              1924  Lancaster, Lancashire, England
Low        Walter P       —              1935  Hackney, London, England
Low        Leslie W P     —              1946  West Ham, Essex, England

But I am not going to search further as I’m satisfied that he and Rowan had no children.
