Where are his parents and siblings

I've found his parents and siblings in 1921 censuses so that's all good.

He was a police constable in Staffordshire in 1926

That's very helpful, thank you.  I wonder why I never found it ???

And in the newspaper clipping "Mr Hervey" may have been his sister in law's husband (she married a Hervey so it could be one of that side of the family)

His Burnt Attestation Papers 1918 when he was Conscripted as Baden Briggs and Demobbed at Kemmel Park still exist - but like my Granddad he Enlisted on Demobbed Day and his next Army Period in the 1920s have not been Scanned by Ancestry or Findmypast because they are held in the National Archives now.
My Granddad is also missing from the 1921 Census presumably Overseas

Hi, can you tell me where you have found this info please? You say you've found my Grandfather's "Burnt Attestation Papers 1918?" (not sure what that is) I've been told my Grandfather was not in the forces, but maybe he was(?)

Could they be the records of Baden Briggs born 1900, Steeton, Yorkshire  :-\

Ooops Sorry
The Burnt Attestation Papers that I found were for Baden  Briggs born the Same September Quarter 1900 but in Keighley not Stoke On Trent  - Attestation Papers show Baden Briggs enlisted 19 June 1918 in Halifax Father's Name was John William not Richard Benjamin-  Sorry.
