1939 England and Wales Register - Help finding family of Harold Callear (b.1890)

[SiCallear]

Hi,

I'm struggling to find the family of Harold Callear (b. 1890) in the 1939 England and Wales Register (using Ances*.com). I would expect them to be in the Rotherham/Rawmarsh area.

Can you help?

Harold Callear (b. 1890)
wife: Emily Callear (b. ~1897)
son: John Callear (b. 14/01/1922) - I would expect his name not to be shown
son: Betsy (b. 1924)
son: Roy (b. 16/04/1927)
daugther: Joyce (b. 17/01/1929)
son: Joseph (b. 19/03/1931)
daugther: Florence (b. 1934)
son: Geoffrey (b. 1937)
son: Harold (b. 1938)

An older sibling (Sylvia b. 4 Jun 1920) is living at Thorn Terrace in Bradford [no known prior association with Bradford]

Think you'll find Emily and Betsey at 27 East Avenue, Rawmarsh, Yorkshire.

Haven't checked the others!

27 East Avenue, Rawmarsh

Transcribed as COLLVAR on Ancestry.

At that address are:
Emily (1897)
John (1922)
John (1938)
Joyce (1929)
Florence (1934)
Betsy (1924)

Harold may be in Armed Forces, and therefore not on the 1939 Register?

I don’t believe that 1938 John is correct. See image.

(Added…transcribed differently on ANC.)

Don't shoot the messenger!
Just transcribing what I found on FindMyPast.

Maybe this is Harry?
born 1889 at 22 Madeley Street, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent CB

I know. I was just pointing it out for the op.

Harold is with them in Rawmarsh  4 April 1890

Harold Ca? On FindMyPast

Thanks all - armed with your info I have managed to access the record but if I am honest I have tried unsuccessfully to get that search result/match (despite trying to expand my search)  Can one of you explain what search you used so that I can hopefully avoid bothering you again? 

FYI - This Harold was born Apr 4 1890 (recorded in the Rawmarsh, Yorks district).

I have the 1891 and 1901 census records for him but his 1911 census record also elude me. Can one of you kind folk weave your magic on that too?

For the 1939 I found it on FindMyPast then searched on Ancestry using one of the other names on the page.
And discovered the COLLVAR transcription.

But, if I didn’t have FindMyPast I would have tried wild cards.  Eg searching for Harold C*LL*R b abt 1890 finds them.
