In 1918 she was married from 217 Wright Road, Saltley in Birmingham. I'm assuming that she was mistranscribed by her employer.

Her name was Louisa Blewitt (pictured left) born 1894 and she was the daughter of Levi and Annie Blewitt. I can find Levi and Annie but not Louisa. I know she lived out before she got married but I can't find her anywhere. Any ideas as to why this is?
Thank you in advance.

FOUND HIM!
Strangely enough when writing down the numbers for the possibles I had a feeling it might be that one. Spooky, lol!
After digging around/cross referencing I have finally found his pension record! His number is 43413. The address is 217 Wright Rd Saltley. That is the address my Great Grandmother married from.
Knew you guys would come up trumps!

His name was Henry Lloyd and he was born 27th June 1893 in Birmingham UK. He died in 1974.
I vaguely recall him being a cook or some such and that he got praised for rescuing some horses. However I've drawn a complete blank on anything else.

Thank you for all your hard work guys, we appreciate it! 
I'd tried looking in the Gazette but couldn't find his name, never thought of just looking under his number, d'oh!
