Why can't I find Frederick Percival Davis in the 1939 ration book? I mean his will says he died in May of 1940 soooo he should be getting a ration book, shouldn't he? Maybe not as he was dying in 1939 maybe they thought it would be a waste of time and money. :-0

we are having a major thunderstorm here, but I will be back maybe

BOOOM :-0

When was he born, any idea of County, area, a name of wife?...
