1909/1910 Birth
A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Births for England and Wales reveals that the most likely match is a Leslie Bartram Burrows, whose birth was registered in the Norwich District in the January to March quarter of 1910. Then as now you had 42 days after the event to register the birth with the Civil Authorities, so Leslie could potentially have been born in 1909.
1911 Census of England and Wales
The 1 year old Leslie Bertram Burrows, born Norwich, was recorded living at No.10, Wrestlers Yard, Barrack Street, Norwich. This was the household of his parents, Alfred Bertie, (aged 21 and a Baker, born Norwich), and Caroline, (aged 22 and a Tailoress, born Norwich). The couple have been married a year and have had just the one child so far.
The most likely marriage of his parents was that of an Alfred Bertie Burrows to a Caroline Brown, which was recorded in the April to June quarter, (Q2), of 1909.
Post – August 1911 it became compulsory when registering a birth with the Civil Authorities in England and Wales to also record the mothers maiden name. A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Births for England and Wales for children registered with the surname Burrows, mothers maiden name Brown reveals this is a quite a common combination and throughout the period to the end of the 1930’s there are various children recorded in Norfolk – although only one in Norwich, (Mary S., Q4 1926). Checking out the Norfolk births there is at least one instance of children being born in adjacent quarters, most likely indicating there are at least two couples with this combination of names. It should also be borne in mind that if Caroline was pregnant at the time the census was taken, (start of April 1911), she could have given birth before the new rule kicked in.
1935 – Marriage
The marriage of a Leslie B Burrows to a Phyllis A Page was recorded in the Norwich District in the October to December quarter, (Q4), of 1935.
A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Births for England and Wales indicates only one likely child of this marriage – a Peter D J Burrows, mothers maiden name Page, was registered in the Norwich District in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1937.
On the day
The death of a 31 year old Leslie B Burrows was registered in the Carlisle District of Cumberland in the April to June quarter, (Q2), of 1941.
Air Casualty Communique No.71 which was reprinted in the edition of Flight Magazine dated June 26th 1941 includes Sgt L B Burrows who was recorded as Died on Active Service.
