The name of the factory was William & Williams Reliance Works Chester. It was a munitions factory.

No wonder she did not want you to work in a factory...life was very hard and dangerous work making weapons and

shells for the British Army. As a matter of fact  women produced 80% of all bombs and shells..

Sorry I've been awol, anneelaine. Still kind of sick.

I'm confused. The email you sent me about the person you contacted -- that was not one of the people I had identified as the probable family members of the CS born in Yorkshire in 1896 (birth registered in March quarter 1897).

If we recall from way back at the beginning when I listed the two closest births for the name Charles Staveley and the details you had (i.e. his age), there was another CS born in the same registration district in February 1894, with middle name Henry. (He was born in virtually the same place, as it turns out, and had the same occupation in 1911 -- they were obviously related somehow.)

I am pretty sure that the person you contacted was actually a family member of the CS born in 1894 -- not of the CS born in 1896. (I have sent you details of the probable family line.)

I'm don't know how you identified him and got the contact info for him ...

I hope you going to contact the person I identifed for you as almost certainly a family member.

I still think the only way you are going to know details of that CS's life, to see whether they match with anything you know about your CS,  is to talk to the known family of the CS we are thinking was yours -- the one born in 1896 (not 1894).
