Sidami ............

I noticed that you asked if "this site was free?"

The 1939 Register is available with a sub to FindMyPast or to Ancestry ........ FMP had it first, ancestry got it fairly recently and is doing its own transcription of the register.

It is possible to find different results on FMP vs Ancestry.

Presumably his parents' marriage:

Chapman John W Goodall Horncastle 7a 1828
Goodall Hilda Chapman Horncastle 7a 1828


His parents in 1939:

Marital status: Married
Birth Date: 16 Feb 1878
Residence Year: 1939

Occupation: Road Worker
Schedule Number: 66
Sub Schedule Number: 1
Enumeration District: TMIB
Registration district: 419-2

John W Chapman
Hilda Chapman

There are two closed records with them on Ancestry - maybe he's one of them.

He's not readily jumping out of the 1939 results otherwise.
