Do you know his address in 1939 war register.

SS
In1939 he lived in Dagenham (he was moved there as he was in the footwear trade) whilst Lucy and their children lived in Norwich with her parents. They did move down to him in Essex, briefly, but moved to Leicester as the blitz took hold.

Thanks for this - 'my' Percy was the one born in Bolton who died in Market Harborough and I'm trying to find out his whereabouts between the 1921 census and the birth of my Aunt in 1929, which are the facts I know are correct. There was another child born in 1925 which is a bit of a mystery as Percy and Lucy weren't married.

From what seems to be your tree on Ancestry it looks like this is Percy’s marriage?

Yes that's my Percy. He never got round to divorcing Alice, hence the mystery of his life between 1921 when he was in Norwich with Alice, and 1929 when my Aunt was born (with Lucy as her Mum)

She says she is a widow on the 1939 register but possibly for respectability if she had a child or children and wasn't married to Percy.

What occupation did Percy have?  That might help with tracing his whereabouts but whoever holds the electoral registers is the best bet.

Are both children registered as Clark or Ives?

Yes, I think Lucy said she was a widow for respectability. She had 4 children, my Mum being one. There has always been some mystery about what happened between 1921 (when she was living in Nottingham and a shorthand typist at Boots hq) and 1929, when my aunt was born. I do know she was living in Cathedral Street, Norwich in 1925/6, so trying to find Percy Clarks whereabouts at that time.

Lucy was born in 1898, so between the ages of 24-32. Particularly interested in 1924 to 1926. I know from her child's birth certificate that Lucy was living at 11 Cathedral Street, Norwich in 1925, and she was probably with Percy Clark at that time (and until her death in 1967).

Can anyone help me on my search for where Percy Charles Clark (born 1889) was living between 1922 and 1930? I believe he may have been living at 11 Cathedral Street, Norwich unfortunately I cannot access the electoral rolls for the time I'm looking for. Also at that's address may have been Miss Lucy Ives, but I doubt she'd be on the register . Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you, thats really helpful. Not going into too much family history (😉) there is quite a tangled tale about my maternal grandma, Lucy and grandpa, Percy. Now I've got to figure out where Walter comes into the story!
