Had to leave the thread for a while so just checking back.

Ah, so going by AustinQ's 1935 electoral register it looks as though John Thomas was still at home in 1935.

Many thanks for find the 1911, Catherine.

Arthur's brother James Horace and family are at 78 Unett Street, so I've worked along the street to 124, and found it that way, on the image. But it hasn't been transcribed on Ancestry.
Even entering the details as they are shown on the FMP version you've posted, it doesn't come up.

They were still at 124 Unett St in 1922, per ER.

No, sorry, I don't have John Thomas's exact DOB. In fact, I only discovered his existence today, when double-checking William's birth on the GRO site.
Thanks for the various 1939 possibilities. I'll keep a note of them in case I ever feel the urge to buy his birth cert - not at present.

Chris - thanks for the exact date of Arthur's marriage!

AQ - thanks for your help, and confirmation of JT's death.
Markwell rings a bell from somewhere else in my tree, I'm sure. I must look into that.

William's death was 1957:

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar

STANLEY William Arthur of 9madocke Road, Sedbury near Chepstow, Monmouthshire died 19 February 1957at St Woolos Hospital, Newport, Monmouthshire Administration Llandaff 13 March to Violet Nancy Stanley widow Effects £312

AG- John died in 1935 so the possible 1939 registers wont be him!

Hmm - interesting. I've got Annie Susan, her siblings and parents in my tree already (don't know why - must be some other connection ) , and her husband John, complete with DOD 1935, but he's not attached to his family. I've made a note at some point "Don't know if he's one of our Stanleys or not" ! (That's because I didn't know he existed until today - thanks to GRO births showing mms - how did we ever manage without that?).)

Annie and John had a daughter Margaret M, born Birmingham 1933.

EDIT:
OK, now I see that Annie Susan's in my tree because her mother Marion was not only a Stanley, but was Arthur Edward's sister!

So John married his cousin.

Oh dear, that means another of those awkward double-entry situations in GR, of which I've already got several.

Yes, thanks, AQ - I'll forget 1939!

And thanks for confirmation of William's death date.

Great when it all comes together. Not had any first cousin marriages in my tree.
