Searching for my Grandfather On mothers (June, b 1937) birth cert he is William Woods a groom, of 59 Maplewell Road, Woodhouse eaves. in district Loughborough. On her brothers (derek b 1941) birth cert it says name of father Albert William Woods occupation Police constable, of Oak Villas, Warwick Road, Knowle, Solihull. On his death cert it looks like Alfred (but could be Albert) William Woods a fire warden of 309 Park Cottages, Barston, in district Meriden, date of death 6 September 1941. aged either 41 or 47. So far I've been unable to find any marriage record, my grandmothers name was Dorothy Knowles she was born 18 April 1914. I do know that he enrolled as either a wartime reservist or special constable on 8 July 1940 in the Solihull division and was stationed at Knowle. His PWR number was 196R and his name was down as Albert Woods and that he possibly resigned on 23 March 1941 a few months before he died. What I'm actually trying to find out is where and when my grandfather was born. Appreciate any help offered.
