Think I have found marriage for George Powell in Belper 1938 and a son Glyn Powell in 1940 so it all seems to be coming together now. Many msny thanks for your help. All this has helped to connect the crew of a Lancaster together killed zGermany 1944. George Powell being the last of 2 to be found.

Can't find his parents on the 1939 Register - at least not together, and not in Derbyshire. .

Can't see the family in 1911, either.
