Hi Fran You said previously that you have your Tree on Ancestry. There seems to be a lot of other Trees who have Albert William Bowles born 1884 Victoria Australia in their tree as well. You could look at each one and see if they provide any further information. But at the moment it seems to me as if Albert William Bowles does not belong to your tree. The Death Notice for Elizabeth Bowles who died in 1925 in Kensington mentions all 6 children including Arthur (deceased): The Argus Melbourne 21 July 1925.
