How the time stands
A family member's statement: his first wife, Angela Bowie, gives nine in the morning in her 1993 memoir. It is not a record. Registers in England and Wales note a time only for multiple births, so no register time is expected.
About the clock
Britain was on Greenwich Mean Time in January 1947; summer time did not resume until 16 March 1947, and double summer time ran from 13 April to 10 August.

  • 23:50 · David Douglas, Presenting David Bowie! (Pinnacle Books, 1975), p. 3, says 'just before midnight', as cited in Lois Rodden, Astro-Data II (AFA, 1988), which entered it as 11:50 PM GMT and rated it B. The same 11:50 PM appears in Jim Lewis, The Astro*Carto*Graphy Book of Maps (Llewellyn, 1989), and Paul Morley, The Age of Bowie (2016), mentions the idea of 11.50 p.m.
  • 00:00 · Kevin Cann, David Bowie: A Chronology (Vermilion, 1983): 'born just after midnight', with no minute given (entered here as 00:00). Repeated in Fred Bronson, The Billboard Book of Number One Hits (1985 and later editions). Cann's own 2010 chronology gives 9am instead.
  • 09:15 · Ricki Reeves, The Quindecile (Llewellyn, 2001), an astrology book giving 9:15 a.m. GMT with no source. Astrotheme says 9:15 was the usual figure before about 2015. No original traced.
