You really need to buy a copy of their marriage cert to establish the name of John's father given the spelling and the variance in places.  No Dorothy M Humphrey birth in Doncaster but there is one in Bridgend in March qtr 1924

Hi Tim
You're welcome.
I only have the ocr text at the moment, I'm afraid.
The grandfather I think is Peter George Hendley (edit!), I don't know if the text result missed out the P or not!
