Where would the Oakham electoral regis be at? Dudley ?

if so might be worth seeing who is living at that address he puts on marriage with him

moving this to brickwalls
Mumbles I am stuck on this......if anyone can suggest anything else..

Mumbles maybe put for elec regis look up on the dudley archives list

that address might get lucky

could try to see if there a phone registered for 6 Highland Road Oakham might be lucky

you could access the 1939 id card register but its £42 in england £15 in scotland riped of again

It's probably not relevant but I seem to recall my grandparents talking about an Arthur Hackett who I think might have serviced their cars. Whether he was in Cradley Heath where they lived I don't know.

Again probably not relevant, but I had an idea my Arthur Hackett's wife was called 'Trude. She ran a haberdashers shop on St Anne's Road, opposite what is, according to Streetview, Cradley Kawasaki. It looks like a block of maisonettes now but used to be a parade of redbrick shops, including a sweetshop, with a small pub on the corner of Compton Road opposite the Dudley & Dowell works. I was in that pub one morning (don't ask) and the barman was pulling pint after pint of Bank's Mild and stacking them on the bar, the hooter went, the men flooded across the road and, 15 minutes later when the hooter went again, they left a bar full of empty glasses.

I think this might be their marriage:
Marriages Dec 1921 (>99%)
Foster Gertrude Hackett Walsall 6b 1575
Hackett Arthur T Foster Walsall 6b 1575

They moved out to the countryside somewhere, to a small holding, where Arthur repaired classic cars in the barn and 'Trude grew daffodils commercially in the field. 'Trude was a particular friend of my great aunt Minnie Tandy (née Birch) and we used to drive out to visit them.
