Help with Exley family

I can't find either in the 1939 register although I can see her parents.

I think you will have to get the marriage certificate, he may have been a widower and somewhat older than Ivy.

Thanks. The Exley connection has many secrets and lies and I am trying to ascertain truth from fiction lol. I already know Francis and Ivy did not die in a fatal car crash. He was only 2 years older than Ivy.

Electoral Register  1948  address 82 Chantry Road Rothwell

Martin Eyre
Emily A Eyre
Robert Eyre
John Jowett
Dorothy Jowett
Francis A Exley**

Dorothy Eyre married John Jowett 1944 reg. Wakefield

In 1945-48 there's an Ivy T Exley at 23 Whinney Moor Avenue, Rothwell with Joseph and Gladys Exley. 1949 they're there, but no Ivy

There's a redacted individual in the Eyre household in 1939 - probably Ivy, as they come after Dorothy ?

Joseph and Gladys are Francis's parents - so both are on the electoral register at their inlaws' address. How odd

Neither Joseph not Francis are obvious on 1939 - might they both have been called up as Joseph was 38 ad Francis 18

Thanks. That’s great. Yes it’s strange but this is no ordinary search.

One of  Francis children alive today said parents died in a car crash late 1950’s but I found out they survived and have death records for both in 2004 and 1997.

There are more contradictions about this family and it’s a different and addictive search.

Thanks again amondg. I have now found Joseph and Gladys on 1921 census although I can’t look at census copy I hope Francis b. 1921 may be with them.

I am now moving my search forward to Roy Exley b. 1949 and Stephen Exley b. . 1951.sons of Francis and Ivy.  I have also been informed by a family member recently that one of these men died in yet another car crash in the early 1070’’s. I have not been able to find any newspaper reports. Also no deaths on free bmd but it is quite probable they are both alive today. I think the death is a fabrication .

Sorry to be so cloak and dagger but I think my source is unreliable and their stories are untrue.

Roy Exley  1949 buried 13 June 1949   Grave G 826
Thelma  1944 buried 23 August 1944   Grave  G 826

Children of Francis and Ivy Exley.

I would look for a divorce in the 1950's, the relatives only seem to have one explanation for everything.
