Research Notes

Martin Bobowsky was using the given name Michael for several years before his death

The following information given on the certificate is, apparently disingenuous (information that Paul Bobbs almost certainly knew but did not report)

  1. Martin’s given name. Although the death certificate and cemetery records record the burial of Michael Bobowsky the name on the headstone is Martin Bobowsky
  2. Total years Martin spent working as a bookkeeper. Paul was well aware of his father’s other occupations
  3. Anastazia’s maiden name
