Adopted son - help with WWII Fireman please

I suppose it depends where chappie lived and how far he travelled to see his ladyfriend! London Underground is all around and he could even have come up from South London of course.

Mum was born in 1919,so I imagine the chap would be anything from 1915 to 1928?

Very true. My neighbour seems to think he was local but this may be just a supposition.

I have emailed the museum from the link provided by GrahamSimons.

It might be worth looking at the London Electoral Rolls on Ancestry.  They go up to 1965.

I did that but they don't go out as far as Wembley?

Was thinking of the phone books,but he may not have been the householder,and not many of us were on the phone in 1945.

I am afraid my Ancestry subscription is the basic one. I also don't know his age or his location.

I have received a reply from the Museum at London Fire Brigade; this was email address given on the web site. The only have records up to the 1920s but I have been put in contact with the Brigade's Records Services.

I shall not post the email address here because of spammers but please PM me is anyone is interested.

The Electoral Roll records on Ancestry cover Wembley from 1945 to 1965.

The Records Service couldn't help either; saying the Wembley area was not within London.

They have given me the address of the Civic Centre Library in Harrow.

PM me if you need anything specific at Harrow Library- I have an old school friend who still lives in the area and often goes there for me! Although I can't think that they have much to do with Wembley

A long shot here, could he have been a Fireman in the Armed Forces
