Well done everyone, tied up nicely.
:-) still smiling.

Mine are quite an incestuous lot! Or almost so.

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

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

And thanks for confirmation of William's death date.

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.

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

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

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.

marriage for above, so maybe not him as no middle name?

Do you have an exact date of birth for John Thomas, it may be easier to, either find him in 1939 record, or to find a death for him?
