Searching for any any details of Arthur Walter WILLIS bn. c. 1893 West Ham, Corporation Road ?  lived 1926 Laindon, Essex and worked at "Churchill Johnson" builders merchant nearby to Laindon Station.

Does any have any records that might exist as to where Arthur Willis , my father lived, or any information that might exist of any records ie.marriage/death details. Time runs short.

Any details would be gratefully received.
