Still (or again) in Mantua Street in the 1939 register where Albert was shown just living with Ethel and their daughter Irene. (His youngest child, Frederick, was in hospital). Although it appears that all of the houses in the road may have been divided in two, the other person in a separate household at the same address was Edith M Hibberd, born 1905, almost certainly Ethel's sister.

Details from PR entry (image on Ancestry)
Albert and Ethel were both resident at 31 Mantua St when they married, being bachelor and spinster. Ethel had been living at the address with her family (i.e. her mother and siblings) in 1911; the house was then (as it was in 1939) occupied by two households. In 1911 the other part was the home of a painter's labourer Harry Murfin and his family. As he was described as a painter at marriage, it may well be that Albert was lodging or boarding with the Murfins; the same address does not necessarily imply that they were living together before marriage.
Witnesses were Charles Henry Horton and Gladys Marie Barnwell
