John Axon family history and wartime service

Hi Julie
Thanks
Did not check out all Kelleys.  I had his address Audenshaw but his occupation as a moulder is potentially useful.
Thanks again

Hi Garstonite
Thanks-Got the 1929 Kelly's tip.  The marriage record John Charles Axon, and Isabell and the other Axons mentioned definitely worth a look-up, on it.
Thanks again
David

Incoming passenger lists have the following, the address is relevant as Gladys and John were living there at the outbreak of war.

Date of Arrival 30th Jan 1948 Southampton from New York

John Axon  35     9, Garden Street, Newton Hyde, Cheshire   SEAMAN

Gladys seems to have married again in 1968 .

The baptism that I posted for John fits in with the Axon /Vernon marriage in 1902 at Droylsden St Mary

I'm a little confused, If he was Merchant Navy his records won't be with the MOD. You can get a quote from the National Archives for a copy of his Seaman's pouch as given in Cath151's post.
