Would someone with a sub please see if they can find Frank Round, date of birth believed to be May 1st 1919. Likely to be in West Bromwich/Wednesbury/Dudley area.

He married young (wifes name unknown at this stage), but it broke down very shortly after, so may be on his own or with family.

Thanks in advance

Thank you both. Thats most useful, confirms his parents. I thought that he married at about 19, but clearly not, so the 1941 could well be right. The 1949 marriage is correct.
