Do not think I can offer any more help on this post. If pennies allow the birth cert of George would confirm his dob and James marriage to Jane Harriett in 1932 would confirm father. Believe James died 1955

Deaths Jun 1955

More than enough help, currently fill in blanks through Ancestry - one piece fills the jigsaw so, if correct (dob is in his army record as such) then, fingers crossed....

If she became a Bell, then Doris is possible 

Death cert. for George has a D. Bell, sister, of Londonderry Avenue, Durham. as the informant....
