Sorry, this record is officially closed. Check if you can open a closed record.

Ref: RG101/4317F/016/32 Letter Code:

the transcription shows 2 closed records but there is only the one showing on the original at No. 3

If Percy was a similar age to Bertha he could have already been in the Forces and not showing on the register

You say you would like "any help with any other information".

How much do you know already? what are you wanting to know?

I don't see any obvious records for Victor's sister Ruby.
Perhaps she's still alive and hasn't married, in which case there wouldn't be any record online.
There are ER records for women named Ruby Slater in various places, but can't tell if any of them might be her.

Ruby 'disappeared' after 1946.I eventually traced her to USA,where shed died in 2012.She'd married a Brown in 1952,who died very young,remarried a Bennett in 1953-who died,then remarried again.Used the name Rubina,then later Rena.
