There are 4 closed records on the Lena Guy image. One is before Dorothy and 3 afterwards.

There are two closed records on the 1939 register for Norman and Mary Hindley.

Norman's occupation is given as Quantity Surveyor. Manufacturer of Children's Cotton Garments for sale to retail shops and stores. Written in Red next to Norman's occupation (so added at a later date) is Part Time Telephonist in (Report Centre???).
Not certain about the last two words but I think it is Report Centre.

William (and son Harry) spent most of their life working for the railway, so I'm pretty sure your first choice of Wm (i.e., the hit KathleenB picked out
), a railway worker, marr but no wife present, is my Wm.

Maddie - those all look good - are there any closed records present?

surnname differs though.

Could someone pleas do a 1939 look up for William Hindley (1876-1958) and his wife and kids.

William had 3 surviving kids born 1902-1907 in Wigan/Ince with his first wife Elizabeth Atherton (1879-1915)

By 1939, these kids were married with their own kids:

1932q1 HINDLEY Norman Atherton BENSON Mary Freda St. Catherine, Wigan Wigan & Leigh C29/11/220

After Elizabeth's death, William wed Annie Waite nee Brunt, a WW1 war widow.

William and Annie had one kid:

HINDLEY Tom BRUNT Wigan Wigan & Leigh WIG/302/50

At some point, William and Annie separated - maybe even divorced.
William certainly lived with his son Norman's family at some point.

This is William's death:
Deaths Sep 1958 (>99%)
HINDLEY William 82 Wigan 10f 608

and I think this is Tom's death:
Deaths Dec 1988 (FAKED UP)
HINDLEY Tom 20SE1921 Manchester 38 1469
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVZW-P6L

NB Although Tom is dead now, he might still have a closed record in 1939.

***********************

Openshaw was in the Ardwick subdistrict of Chorlton RD.
This is the only suitable Annie Brunt I found in Ardwick 1911 (in piece 23732).
