Peter James Rowling was born in England, likely Essex, around first quarter 1945 to his parents Ernest Arthur Rowling and Kathleen Ada Bulgen. He joined the Royal Navy when he was of age and met his future wife, Anne Volant, while travelling on a train from England to Scotland around 1963. About a year later in early 1965 they were married and in mid-1965 their daughter Joanne Rowling was born.
When he left the Navy just prior to his marriage to Anne, he went to work for Rolls-Royce in Bristol as an apprentice engineer.
Note that some sources appear to indicate that Pete remarried after his wife's death in 1991 to his secretary Janet Gallivan and was alive as late as 1993. Seeking additional information on this. Additional evidence was found as well with a Happy Father's Day from JK to Dad dated Father's Day 2000. It is extremely likely that he is still living at this time.
