The other side of the index card shows his employer as Hawkes of Church Farm, Leonard Stanley, nr Stroud (address as given above). He was exempted from internment on 19 October 1939, presumably to serve in the Pioneer Corps.

Parents Johann Kleedorfer (b 1889) and Ella (b 1900). His father was born in Vienna, and they’d been living there since 1925 – hence ‘German by annexation’.

The family applied twice to emigrate to England, in 1938 and 1939. Application forms here ...

Sadly, it doesn’t look like Tibor had siblings.

The Sandler Hom family tree on Ancestry (owner - fivehoms) has Tibor’s parents, suggesting that his mother Ella survived the Holocaust. Worth getting in touch, perhaps?

Probably not his own family.
