Thanks Dea, DetEcTive and Andy for all your help with this. I will go through it properly when i get home this afternoon.

Slight correction for Andrew's post

"Marion Gray 19 Mar 1935 nee Thompson"

Marion was a Gray at the time of the Register. The notation for the change in surname to Thompson was made on 4 Jun 1962.

I think the occupation on the 1939 index could be 'precision grinder on admiralty work' ??

It looks like he has been lazy on writing the 'd' which looks like a 'double L' in the word. If you compare this with some of the other d's they have written, e.g. the word 'unpaid' directly underneath, it is possible.

He probably worked at the Beckingham Shipyard which is practically at the end of the street where he lived. They were doing a lot of work for the Admiralty there.

You can read about it here:
