Would some find for me in the 1939 Register a William J. Sheward born c1897 and his wife Elizabeth nee Tomes c 1899 both in the Birmingham area please?

I know they married in the Birmingham district too in 1921. My Father's notes tell me they did have children.

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl lists 5 Sheward/Tomes children born between 1923 & 1938.

As the image shows 4 closed records listed after Joan, they are probably all living at the same address
