Find Ancestors

Hi, can anyone help me find where my Uncle Roger Gibson b.1912 ( in Barrow in Furness). would be on the 1939 register please? I dont have access to the 1939 register . After the war he built houses for the Council in Neath, I have a newspaper cutting of it, and him in it too. My mum did mention something how he made his money, but hoping the 1939 register may give me a bit of insight of this. Many thanks everyone

Are you saying you can’t find him?

If he had already signed up for the services he would not be on the 1939 register if in barracks.

His parents in 1939 but not finding him so far.
