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.

In 1911 he was with his parents and siblings at The Hollies Chapel St Bitterne, Bitterne, Hampshire:
