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

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

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

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.

Possibly stretching credulity a bit, but the man with whom Reginald shared a home in 1939 was James E Stubbs

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
