Returning to my family tree after many years...
Ive lost track of William Kemp b 28.9.1906 Camberwell
He is in the 1921 with mother and siblings in Holbeck Row, working as a messenger boy but nothing after that-no marriage, military record, death or move abroad that I can find
His family had moved to Ascot in the 1939 register
Any ideas?

have you eliminated the marriage of William S Kemp to Doris E Parsley in Blyth district 1937. It looks like they are in Suffolk in 1939, William has correct dob

I found this too but the image of the register the dob is actually 25th not 28th.

Oh yes, so it is. So he'd be the William Stanley Kemp who's birth reg is in Blything Q4 1906

Thanks for hunting
I imagine he stayed in Camberwell when his family moved to Ascot where they lived in a hotel/ boarding house but I can't find him in the 1939. And no military record so it made me wonder if he emigrated..
-
I fished out the birth certificate and dob is 28 September 1906
-
There are a number of William Kemps of the right sort of age on passenger lists emigrating before 1939.
-
No middle name so that may narrow it down
-
William never appears on electoral registers with mother Alice & brother Stephen who are living at 5 Holbeck Row, Camberwell until 1928/9.
