It says he married Amy Dyer 16 Jun 1915 so I guess you will know from that whether it's the right record.
I think that must be him as there's only the one George Bowden marrying in 1915.

In 1921 George (with wife Amy and daughter Mary E, 6y 3m (born before the marriage) and George H, 1y 8m) is b Chagford and aged 33y 2m which suggests a birth before 1890.

Chagford was in Okehampton district when George was born, but I don't see a birth reg there. There is this baptism though:

Name George Bowden
Baptism Date 3 Jul 1887
Baptism Place Chagford, Devon, England
Religion Anglican
Father Henry Bowden
Mother Emma Bowden

What father's details are on the 1915 marriage cert?

You say you are waiting for his birth cert. Did you know you can download birth records from the GRO (up to 1923) for £2.50 and you don't have to wait for them!
