Please can anyone tell me how to trace his family . He was born in Southsea Portsea Island and died in Sussex. I know and am related to his parents but know nothing of Ernests siblings and children.

Is this his birth?

In the 1939 record, Jean Greenhill (18 May 1922) is presumably Ernest & Alice's child.

I don't see her birth - possibly overseas?

Nor do I see any death or marriage which are definitely hers.

There are quite a number of UK deaths of women named Jean, born in 18 May 1922.

There's no mention on the 1939 register of a later change of surname, but I don't know if that definitely means she never married.

Alice and Ernest are together on various London area Electoral Rolls 1918 - 26.
