i've found charles wife's probate, she died at the same address in portsmouth about a year later and probate was to her son charles fred perry a railway guard. Firstly i know the son is still alive in 1943, secondly he would have been 18 a few months before the end of ww1 so there may be something for that, also there may be railway employment records. I could probably get his address off the will.
Updated: i could find nothing on his railway employment on ancestry, but there was a brief RNVR naval record (in wales) for the last few months of ww1 though obviously he spent most of it training if not all of it. had his personal details but no addresses
after 1911 would there have been anything that listed peoples addresses or would it have been business directories, i'm thinking more of the parents who may have lived in various places in portsmouth for 30 years after the last census.
also as they both died in portsmouth, is the llandudno probate office likely to be because of the war, moving official docs out of the way?
appreciate any help thanks
