FreeBMD shows his birth:
September qtr 1920
West Bromwich district vol 6b, page 1713
Reader, Raymond J Mother's Maiden Name: Smith
Purchasing the Birth Certificate (unless you already have it?) will give you Raymond's parents names.
There are an awful lot of Reader's marrying a Smith, 1901-1920!!

Thank you for your reply. I have found more informo. Raymond's father was Samuel Reader. I think born 1889 in the area. Raymond's wife was Winifred Iris Reader born abt 1914 in London. Raymond had a brother Stanley died in a Raf mission over Holland. Sister's Ivy and Minnie.
