Thank you for this information, that’s very useful and explains things. From his death record I have a date of birth for “my” Ivor of 19 Nov 1924. I don’t know if anyone is able to confirm if this corresponds to the redacted entry

Glamorganshire / Missing 1939 register entry

Hi
I am looking for Ivor Phillips born 1924 in the 1939 register. I have found a promising lead in FindMyPast (searches) see attached. I don’t subscribe to FindMyPast but do subscribe to Ancestry, however I can’t find the equivalent on Ancestry. What am I doing wrong?

You would not have thought there that many Jellings around! Elizabeth May Jellings (nee Burnett) seems the more likely second wife of Ernest (assuming it’s him).
This is the findagrave entry for Ernest Walter Reeves, he is of the correct sort of age

Ernest possibly married a second time to an Elizabeth/ Elsie Maud Herniman in 1957 in Cardiff. She is entered as Elizabeth Jellings, I believe she was previously married to a Ellis Arthur Jellings in 1916 in Roath, Cardiff

I think I may have solved it, but please feel free to disagree.
I took a punt and ordered the marriage certificate of Ernest Walter Reeves and Sarah Miriam Russ they married 05 Jan 1918 at Cardiff registry office. He was a Private age 23 in the South Lancashire Regiment, his address was 16 Station Road, her's was 14 Station Road (she was age 24). His father was Frank Reeves a farm Labourer, hers was Charles Robert Russ a Blacksmith.
I found Walter in 1901 and 1911 with his parents and siblings. His mother was an Emily Smith. In 1901 his brother Albert Reeves (Albert George Reeves) is with him born about 1892.
A copy of of Ernest’s birth certificate reveals his DOB as 15 Nov 1894. In 1939 it is given as 15 Nov 1893, I think there is a year error in 1939. The potential YOB correction in the 1939 register to 99 I believe is an error.
He possibly died in 1959 in Cardiff. I can’t find a death for Sarah Miriam

Very frustrating that they don’t seem to be in the 1921 census. Great find in 1933, it must be them

Thank you very much for this. A very sad tale, This therefore looks to be the other Ernest Walter Rees mentioned.
