Cheers.

To expand, matching name/service number, I have a marriage certificate in 1952 saying he's 33, so I thought he'd be born 1918/1919... and now I've spotted a record (not seen it yet/Forces War Records site) with the date of 1925, so now I'm thinking "He lied about his age when he married!", so trying to guess a different year of birth at the moment

15 in 1925 is closer to YoB 1910, which would mean a bride of 27 thinking she was marrying a 33 year old chap was actually getting hitched to somebody aged about 42.  This is a "new to me today" new thought and unexpected twist.

The "age a lad could be" would be giving me a guess at his possible YoB. 

Leading on from that ... if I do discover an earlier YoB than expected... it opens up a  whole new possibility that he might've even had a "first wife".... all new thoughts added today....

If you have the 1939 Register original in front of you, plus/minus a couple of pages, you should be able to see something there that gives you a clue as to where the cottage was, on the basis that the written Register was "in house/road order".  e.g. maybe he's listed 6 doors down from a pub, or between an address that's identifiable and another fixed point.

If you have all the addresses written down in front of you (the Register) ... something might make sense.

Could it have been last night's episode, since there was mention of a Feary from Huntingdonshire?

It was.
Gillg was after Thomasina of Warboys - Thomasina was the first-born illegitimate child of Elizabeth, who was the mother of the Louise Voss in last night's episode.  Elizabeth had her child, then married Richard.  Elizabeth & Richard had a few children, one of whom was the Louise, the main focus of last night's episode.

Over the years my mum'd often say to me "we're related to him" when I mentioned names of people.... e.g. I had a temp job at the Hospital and said I'd gone to "XYZs shop" and she said "we're related to him"... whenever I asked "how?" she'd always say "dunno".

She also called everybody her "cousin".

There were also other snippets/stories without names. e.g. when somebody in her family died by just dropping dead as a kid while fishing alone at a riverbank, she said "funny that, my cousin did that years ago and died too"....

All these "dunno" "cousin" and nameless stories.... I've eventually managed to piece them all together and know who everybody was and how they were related. 

She never mentioned the beauty queen though .... knowing my mum she'd have probably said "I didn't like her...."   so wasn't worthy of a mention.
