chris it could just be an error on the BARRA site which can happen...hopefully the death cert may shed more lightThis is a real mystery and, I think, possibly something we may not get to the bottom of. I believe we've established that Robert actually being injured at 14 Bowyer Road is unlikely because of the lack of any evidence of damage to that property - as far as we can tell, 80 years later. So my thought has been that the incident took place at a house in the immediate vicinity and he was taken to, and picked up from, that address. But the Marshall and Snelgrove comment from Robert's mother - who surely must have known the circumstances - could well rule that out. It's entirely feasible that Robert's Home Guard unit was sent to work in the city centre that night.
So, where can the Bowyer Road reference in the official records have come from?
