Chieftain,

I think you will find that they are two different Georges. The George who married Gladys Bright was considerably younger, and his father's name was George, not James. I wasn't able to find a Hawkins/James marriage in the FOD records in the correct time period. I have dismal luck with ancestry's version of the BMD index, so perhaps someone more skilled will be able to narrow it down for you.

Additionally, it wouldn't have left George Lanwarne Hawkins much time to find a bride if he were shipped from Calgary to France in 1915, to marry in England that same year. Not impossible, but perhaps unlikely.

Also intersting to note that his father was a non-conformist minister and G.L. lists his religious affiliation as the Church of England.
