Sandra thanks the death could be him. I believe the car crash story is untrue but have to check it out first.

There was this newspaper article but much earlier in 1932......this Frank would be born much earlier than 1921 if he was driving...............

Thanks amondg, that’s a great help. I wonder why Ivy is not registered as her husband Francis Exley was obviously living there.
-
I can't find either in the 1939 register although I can see her parents.
I think you will have to get the marriage certificate, he may have been a widower and somewhat older than Ivy.

Thanks. The Exley connection has many secrets and lies and I am trying to ascertain truth from fiction lol. I already know Francis and Ivy did not die in a fatal car crash. He was only 2 years older than Ivy.

There's a redacted individual in the Eyre household in 1939 - probably Ivy, as they come after Dorothy ?
-
Joseph and Gladys are Francis's parents - so both are on the electoral register at their inlaws' address. How odd
Neither Joseph not Francis are obvious on 1939 - might they both have been called up as Joseph was 38 ad Francis 18

Thanks. That’s great. Yes it’s strange but this is no ordinary search.
One of Francis children alive today said parents died in a car crash late 1950’s but I found out they survived and have death records for both in 2004 and 1997.
There are more contradictions about this family and it’s a different and addictive search.

Thanks again amondg. I have now found Joseph and Gladys on 1921 census although I can’t look at census copy I hope Francis b. 1921 may be with them.
I am now moving my search forward to Roy Exley b. 1949 and Stephen Exley b. . 1951.sons of Francis and Ivy. I have also been informed by a family member recently that one of these men died in yet another car crash in the early 1070’’s. I have not been able to find any newspaper reports. Also no deaths on free bmd but it is quite probable they are both alive today. I think the death is a fabrication .
Sorry to be so cloak and dagger but I think my source is unreliable and their stories are untrue.
-
Roy Exley 1949 buried 13 June 1949 Grave G 826
Thelma 1944 buried 23 August 1944 Grave G 826
Children of Francis and Ivy Exley.
I would look for a divorce in the 1950's, the relatives only seem to have one explanation for everything.
-
Alan 1954 possible death 2004.
Stephen possibly married ? Smith 1971 reg Wakefield omitted first name as she could still be alive.

Re reply no 16 on the 1921 census.
The Francis Albert Exley who died in 2004 had a birthdate of 30th June 1921. The 1921 census was taken on 19th June 1921.
-
Thanks everyone. What I now need to find is if Stephen iwho married ? Smith in 1971 is in fact the son of Francis and Ivy. That would make everything I have been given by a living Exley a tissue of lies :o

We are not allowed to trace living people.
Suggest you purchase the marriage certificate, it will have his father's name and occupation.

Ahh sorry had forgotten that. I got carried away with this one . At least freebmd has details of the living peoples births and marriages which is a help.
