Ref earlier posted Marriage of George Henry Bishop & Kate Rosalind Murrell in 1907; I suspect this may be their son ? If so he was born abt 1915, perhaps named in memory of George's close brother John William who had died abt 1900.

I had wondered if the "next-generation" groom's name indicated whether his POSSIBLE father John WIlliam Bishop, "Aircraft fitter", had died during WW2, but I cannot find him in the CWGC site, altho thats not conclusive of course (the fact there are some John William Bishops' war graves listed, a few are RAF men, show this is NOT a rare name !).
He could equally have been a civilian working at a munitions factory (GAC Brockworth etc).
All supposition of course...
