Thank you very much for your very kind replies and useful links. I will definitely apply to the mod for possible records.

In reference to his DOB being slightly different in the 1939 census. My nana always said the reason is he was born on the 1st April 1907 and he didn't like the fact it was associated with april fools day so he always asked for his birthday to be celebrated on the 31st March which is the date in the 1939 census.

Thanks to ShaunJ the J.W Brinsley who was a 2nd lieutenant in the records was indeed not James William Brinsley. Thanks Shaun.

I will move the this thread as suggested to the World War 2 sub-forum.

I will follow up shortly with a picture of his uniform.

Thank you very much for this information.
It will keep me busy for some time.
I will keep you informed of what I learn and any details I find.

My mission is to find any other information on this town she was born in as I can't find much.
But mainly, now i have mentioned her on this forum maybe somebody in the future has a similar link.

When searching a name or word using the main search function the results don't seem to offer date order, instead they look like relevancy or so I think.
Why isn't there a date order for the results using this function?
Sometimes the results can have hundreds of pages.

I hope you are and your families are doing well. Looking over our conversation,
our Dace connections are strong.
We have connections exactly around Cannock, Cheslyn Hey, which is but 3 miles down road in and around Bloxwich.
Stay good.
