Are you are working on Reginald being born 1920 from a birth index showing like this below (or do you know that his DOB incorrect on the 1939 register).

6 weeks was allowed in which to register a birth, so from mid November onwards of any particular year, the registration could show in the following year's 1st Quarter ie Jan/Feb/Mar quarter

The 1938 death of Emily Stubbs, formerly Wills, would fit with the fact that James E Stubbs is a widower per 1939 Register.

It would be a huge coincidence if James, who had married a Wills, just happened to be living with Reginald in 1939 if they weren't related.

If it were my search, I'd be buying a copy of the marriage cert to see what it says about Emily.

As they were only married for about two and a half years, perhaps that's why you've never heard of him.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 30 Sep 2021 15:38

It may be that Reginald was living with James Stubbs in 1939, and not that James was living with Reginald, if you see what I mean.

Reginald is not at that address on the 1939 Electoral Roll, but James is:

James Edwin Stubbs
in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name: James Edwin Stubbs
Electoral Date: 1939
Street Address: 27 Peckham Grove
Ward or Division/Constituency: Dulwich and North
County or Borough: Southwark, England

ErikaH Report 30 Sep 2021 15:42

As James Stubbs was occupant number one, I would suggest that it indicates that Reginald was living with him rather than vice-versa.

BUT..............the post has been marked as answered, so that's an end to it

Just realised -
Reginald was only 19 in 1939, so too young to be on the ER in any case.
