and I don't see Jack after that birth

The 1963 death in Bucklow RD is of a Jack Rea born c 1897 linked to a probate record
of a Jack who married a Dorothy Milloy in 1919 and had amongst other children a girl called Dorothy in 1935. They are in Manchester 1939.

Looking for this Jack's birth his mmn was Willman so brother to William as per census records

You can order copies through the site

Elizabeth Rea in 1939 with children Lilian and Thomas who you mention. There is also another child surname Rea, but I can't read the first name. The birth year 1935 doesn't tie in with a Rea/Hunt child and as William died in 1933 can't be his.
