For our info.

Davies Household (1 Person)
25 Thornton Park , Dalton-in-Furness U.D., Lancashire, England

FIRST NAME(S) LAST NAME(S) DOB SEX OCCUPATION MARITAL STATUS SCHEDULE SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER
Nellie Davies 01 Dec 1907 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 27 1

Also 3 closed records

Do you know his actual DOB as the 1939 register can be searched with that.

Even if he had been discharged from the RN before 1939, he may well have had a commitment to Reservist time and been recalled, so may not be registered.

The reference below will allow you to order his Service records for further information.

What was Nellie's maiden name?

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate?

Kelzi

Kelzi Report 18 Feb 2017 13:37

Her Maiden name was Clark.I do have the marriage certificate.married 1933 in Dalton-in-Furness.He was based at Clapham at the time with the Royal Navy,aged 23.Father Thomas is given as deceased (probably 1925 in Dalton-in-Furness).He was a labourer. I also have some of his navy records-1925-1929,in which he gives his DOB & POB as Dalton.

When did he enlist - wondering if he lied about his age to do so? My grandfather's youngest brother actually enlisted using one of his older brothers DOB? There's a Joseph Francis Davies born in Dalton in 1912 (mmn Rennie). Have you looked for his father Thomas in the 1911 census?

Kelzi

Kelzi Report 18 Feb 2017 17:20

1925 by the looks of things.I thought exactly the same.I have looked for Thomas in the 1911 census but been unable to find anything conclusive.

Forget the birth I suggested for Joseph Francis - he died in the same quarter as his birth. Have you found deaths for Joseph and Nellie - do they give any further clues?
