I have not searched 39 Register for Melba . All my records for her marriage , life in Canada etc agree with your findings

It's interesting that she is not redacted on the 1939 Register (as we can see from the free index!) since she was born in 1924, and apparently later went to Canada. Has someone had her record opened?
No indication of a name change after marriage apparently.

So, to date, all early sightings have him as Harold Williams - WW1, marriage
Pre WW2 electoral registers have him as Harold Robert Williams
Switches his names around!

Father on marriage is Robert Williams, not Robert Harold
and the possible father, Robert Williams, married Gladys Jenkins in 1917. And presumably died before 1939.

details of the 2 Hugh Williams' birth certificates you have obtained so that they can be eliminated.

Josey if I told you I had 2 certs for Hugh Williams I was delusional , I have no concrete information for Hugh

Sorry, Mary, you never said that; I misread the first post 

Think I need a wet towel around my head
