The 1939 register shows Reginald as single, a Heel Scourer in a Shoe Factory.  He is shown as living with, I assume, his mother and at least 3 siblings (one line redacted).  Address is 50 Saffron Road, Wigston.

He left a Will which went through Probate in October 1975, you could apply for a copy and see what information that gives you.
