You have to bear in mind that Albert may not be on the 1939 if he had joined the services.  Do you have his service record from the government?  If so it should have his date of birth on it.

Thank you all for your input.
Unfortunately it doesn’t get me any nearer to my quest.
Think I will send off for birth certificate to get his exact dob.
Many thanks again
