Thanks for your replies, Tony & Radcliff I do have the majority of the information you have provided but thanks again for taking the time to look into this.
Cathy that does look like the William Eastwood I am interested in. With the information you have provided I will put a post on the WW2 message board. Maybe someone can provide some extra information about his service.
Thank you all again.

Thanks for that, I did wonder if there were any children from his marriage to Bertha.

his father was a confectioner, this is what Wilfred is on his fathers probate record

[Radcliff]

it would be interesting to know if Wilfred states he was single when he married Mena , he says hes single in 1939, perhaps he divorced prior to 39, the two deaths of Berthas in Oldham are not his wife,

[Ryhopelad]

I looked into a death for Bertha and like yourself disregarded the two which could match the time frame, coming to the same conclusion that they had divorced. Did look for another marriage for Bertha just to clear things up but that also came to nothing.
