I am completely baffled by all this information you have sent I have no idea what all this means. My father is going to the devon records office tomorrow to get the marriage and birth certificates for william, george and ellen so maybe that may turn up something.

Have sent you a personal message,I think William was transfered to the Labour Corps
This might be a marriage for George only other name on the index page is Flora Jane Hingston

Name: George Henry Neilson
Year of Registration: 1910
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Plymouth
County: Devon
Volume: 5b
Page: 554

Have not found any births registered in Plymouth for them
Not sure where the registration district East Stonehouse covers so wonder if these are any of there children. Posting them as someone may recall the names
Clifford M Neilson 1913 Oct-Nov-Dec Hingston East Stonehouse Devon

Edna F N Neilson 1916 Jan-Feb-Mar Hingston East Stonehouse Devon

Leonard H Neilson 1912 Oct-Nov-Dec Hingston East Stonehouse Devon

Reginald A Neilson 1917 Oct-Nov-Dec Hingston East Stonehouse Devon
I have just seen that E.Stonehouse came under Plymouth district after 1937 so must be in the right area
