• Notes

  The info for the 1939 register is not conclusive - but it does match birth date. This aligns with the most likely marriage record.... So on this basis he marries Mabel Elizabeth LEACH, which means marriage is 15/6/1922 at St Marks, Camberwell. He gives his occupation as a "Tram Conductor"
