Well seems Mary Vasey Snaith/Buston died in 1883 so not her.

Hi
GRO gives mmn as Snaith, there is a marriage in 1860 Auckland ,
Same page John Buston and Mary Vasey Snaith but would think too early to have a child in 1891.

Hi,
Ancestry have Kensington electoral rolls which include Oakwood Court.
1939 and 1946 onwards (not during the war).
There are several people there in 1946, including 4 women, but in what capacity they were there is unknown.

Added... newspaper report for a marriage to a Mr Lawrence from Hounslow, durig the war to a lady from Ealing (address is given) who was a shorthand typist at the Ministry of Aircraft Production.

A newspaper of 1966 mentions Oakwood Court Kensington
"One large block on the Northside was built as recently as 1927. This block was requisitioned early in the war and used by various Government departments including the Ministry of aircraft production."
There is a manageress mentioned that had been there for 20yrs, a single lady surname beginning with C.

Andy, no apology needed 
I wasn't that sure it was right either, just hoped it might be!
I found the article interesting never heard of the MBU before, liked the bit about the ladies worrying they might be scrubbed down by the british soldiers!

I agree, too many Smiths around but a possible same family in Derby with an Alfred born 1917.
Long shot, I agree, just putting it out there

Possibly not, but image could possibly read 14.3.17
It mentions in the piece he had two brothers in the RN, Albert and Arthur.
Interesting job in the army.
