I am looking for James on the 1939 register. I am trying to link him to a Marjorie Battersby born in Leigh Lancashire in 1942. I am thinking if i can see who he is living with in 1939 it might give me a clue. James was born in 1904 in Leigh Lancashire and had a brother called Harold (my great uncle) and parents John William and Charlotte Standish hence the middle name.
Thanks very much
Phil

Thanks for your help at least it has ruled out James Standish Battersby being related to Marjorie.
