1939 Register - William Stephen White - COMPLETED

[SRD]

Please will someone be kind enough to look up in the 1939 Register the household of William Stephen White, b March quarter 1878 Lewes, Sussex.
He may have been living in Cuckfield or Hastings.

Thanks.

SRD, could you give a little more info, i.e. any other name in the household, as there are a number of William S White or William White that could fit the bill.

[SRD]

He may have been married to a Nancy E A Hoile but that's a long shot.

1939. 27 School Road , Hastings C.B., Sussex,
William S White, 1st Oct 97, Carpenter
Nancy E A White, 9th December 98, Unpaid domestic
Kenneth R White, 18th July, 29, at school (Hoile is mothers surname in the birth index)

[SRD]

I did think Nancy was a long shot, that's written her off completely.

I knew there were a lot of possibilities, in 1911 he was a motor mechanic living in his brother Henry's household in Haywards Heath, Sussex and shown as being 33. His birthplace was Chailey in Sussex.

Is this one completed?

can this be archived?

[SRD]

It's not completed but no-one seems to have been able to find him so either archive or brickwall.

There are 165 William Whites (with variations of first name) coming up but only 22 living in Sussex, 19 of those have a different initial so looking at these three

William White DOB 21 Apr 1877 Married Forestry Labourer. 154 Chyngton Lane, Seaford U.D., Sussex, England
Wife Martha J

William White DOB 12 Aug 1878 Widowed Postman (retired) The Offlicence, Midhurst R.D., Sussex, England


William White DOB 10 Oct 1879 Married (Hard to read this bit) Late Capt ??? Artillery (Retired) then another line which is damaged. Dunchlane Crabtree Lane, Worthing R.D., Sussex, England
Wife Elizabeth

[SRD]

Thanks, none of those either, I think he must have died or emigrated.

There is a tree on Ancestry that has his wife as Nancy Hoile??

[SRD]

Oh bother, that South Street address for a father William does point to my William as does the trade, but the 1939 of him & Nancy states D.o.B. 1897 and him being a carpenter whereas he was actually born in 1878 and had been, up to 1923, a motor mechanic, I must see if I can find that army record.

[spes123]

I must see if I can find that army record.

If you haven't found it FMP have it under British Royal Air Force, Airmen's Service Records 1912-1939

Thanks.
