My dad’s dad was definitely Albert Ernest and he was a newsagent so Albert F must be an error on the 1939 document. As far as I know, he was born on the 6th August 1903 and married Dorothy Turner on 27th June 1926. See photo taken on roof of Viaduct Bldgs. Dorothy died in 1933 aged 29 and Albert Ernest then married Annie Kelly on 19. 12. 33. Annie is named on the 1939 census. See marriage certificate attached. Albert Ernest died 23rd April 1953 aged 49. Where was the info about him being 26 when he got married? I think he must have been 22 when he married Dorothy Turner.


This is entry from The 1939 Register. It shows Viaduct Buildings at the top and in the bottom half we see the White family at number 26. But the ages of the family members there don’t match what I know. Albert F is a newsagent which rings a bell with me. It shows his birth year as 03 (so 1903) But your dad’s father Albert E White was 26 when he married in 1926 so he was born in 1900.
