Take a look at this record of a trip to Niagara Falls in 1932.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XG23-1W1

Looks as though it may be your John & Phyllis, in which case it gives you a middle name Evelyn which may help your search for her and it indicates she is of Welsh extraction.

www.eggsa.org   have a document ordering service but you will have to provide them with the file info I have provided. Was Annie born in Belfast? Here is a link to the SA Airforce war memorial wall  http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=714083

Thanks to all who have replied with such useful information - I am so very grateful for your research and time. I can now add some more pieces to the family jigsaw.
Yes - My Hungerfords were all born in Belfast - John and Annie had 4 other siblings - Elizabeth, my Greatgrandmother.
