The Albert Joseph Whetton who died in 1954 Burton upon Trent does indeed appear to be your man - he was born as plain Albert Whetton  (recorded by GRO as Whetten), mmn Dennis, in Mar.qtr.1876 Ashby de la Zouch.   

Does not look as if he ever married but did find:

Albert Joseph Whetton of 92 High Street, Measham died 27th March 1954 at The Infirmary, Burton upon Trent.   Administration (with will) Leicester 19 June to Doris Ellen Jones (wife of William Jones).  Effects £3960 15s 10d.

As I go to post Jomot beat me to it but will still do so as explains who Doris Ellen was.

Have established that Doris Ellen was his niece, dau. of his younger brother Arthur.   She was born 18/8/1904, married William A O Jones in 1929, died 1978.

Good morning Jomot, Annette Trish and Stitchwitch. Greetings from sunny Fife

Your efforts have completely demolished the brick wall that was Albert Whetton - subsequently Albert Joseph Whetton  :)

Albert's niece ... DORIS ELLEN WHETTON (Dolly), b. 18 Aug 1904, Measham, near Atherstone, Leicestershire, England; d. Bet. Apr - Jun 1978, Coalville, Leicestershire, England; m. WILLIAM ARTHUR ORTON JONES, Bet. Jul - Aug 1929, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, England; b. 11 Mar 1901, Smisby, Derbyshire, England; d. Jan 1985, Coalville, Leicestershire, England

I am no longer in doubt that this is the correct ALBERT.

Many thanks for your help.

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!
