Harry William Stanley Slinger

[Spidermonkey]

I would appreciate another set(s) of eyes having a look and seeing if they can find Harry William Stanley Slinger after 1937.

He was born in 1896, Bootle and I have him on the 1901 census with his parents and sister https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X92G-1T5 and also on the 1911 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWTZ-FZK

I know he joined the Liverpool Regiment in WW1 before transferring to the RAF.

He married Lilian Hilda Haill in 1931 and had a daughter in 1936.

Electoral rolls show him and Lilian living at Liscarde House, The Gardens, Pinner up to 1937.  I have a mention of a partnership being dissolved in 1934 (his partner was Bror Ornolf Fleischer, a Norwegian who naturalised in 1940). Their trading name was "Ralph Plummer", which HWS Slinger seemed to continue to use post-1934

And then - nothing!

HWS Slinger has used his forenames in differing order, but even taking that into consideration I am struggling to find any trace of him (or his wife and daughter!) after 1937.  Any further leads would be gratefully received!

What was his occupation when he married or on the childs birth certificate.

Both of the service records that you mention refer to him only as Harry S(tanley) Slinger.

Mentioned in a will in 1927

Is there another daughter born 1933 in Hendon?

The contents of Liscarde House were auctioned off in October 1938. Emigration?

I think you might be right - on FreeBMD the MMN is listed as Huill, but I can't see a matching marriage.

FindMyPast also shows Huill but GRO shows Haill, you have to put Haill in to get it to show mmn.

Great find, Shaun. Emigration makes sense. Just need to work out where they went!

I don't have any certificates for him as yet, and the only job role I have for him is from 1934 where he is a "Competition Specialist and Solutionist"......which to me sounds like he sets crossword puzzles.....
