I wonder when they are ever going to sort this out? The site is of very limited use at the moment. Any updates on the Facebook page (I don't do FB)?

This might not mean anything, but there was a Tucker family in Chestwood Villas in 1942.

Thanks bbart, that could be relevant. The letter with the signature was in the possession of my mother (now deceased) for many years, and I'm told that the names 'Bill' and 'Jonty' (not known whether this is a man or a woman) may have had something to do with the family in question. Perhaps 'Bill' is the 'William' referred to in the cutting? I've not completely given up on this line of research, but it is proving difficult.

Edit: I've managed to find the Tucker family in 1911 and 1939, together with various BMD records for Charles William Tucker and Camellia Tucker, but I've not been able to find a Philomena Tucker as yet. Philomena, Camellia - similar names ... ?

Do you want to give us the address in case helps 

Of course. I was a bit reluctant to post what will almost certainly be someone else's address now, but I've attached a scan of it from the letter.

I was thinking it was Ducker, but yes, perhaps Tucker. I'm now looking for records based on Tucker. Having been largely unsuccessful with Ducker (or Ducken). Thanks.

Thanks Osprey. Yes, of course. I should have recognised it, given that my current research, of which this is part, relates to the grandson of John Stephens .... who changed his surname to Devauden.
