Can't find this family anywhere!

Joseph Arthur cotton married Edith Marshall in 1936, they had a son George Arthur cotton born 12 May 1937 at The Rookery, Brinsley, Nottingham, I've been trying to find them as a family on 1939 census and electorial registers with no luck, any ideas or help would be appreciated thanks

They might not be on 1939 register if they are still alive or died after 1991, which was the cut off point.

I think off hand that electoral records for Nottm fininshed around 1933 and started again around 2000.

Do you have any deaths for them or dates of birth and area?

They do update the 1939 register with deaths as my aunt is now on there that died in 2015, it says:

"The version of the 1939 Register on Ancestry.co.uk will be updated annually to show the records that have been opened during the past year."

I assume that this is his death:
Name: George Arthur Cotton
Death Age: 63
Birth Date: 12 May 1937
Registration Date: Jun 2000
Registration district: Nottingham
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Register Number: B68A
District and Subdistrict: 6891B
Entry Number: 242

Had a quick look and can't find them,do you know if they stayed in Nottingham all the time?

How old would father and mother have been in 1939?

[Sylvia C]

The son might well be still alive, he'd only be 83

I think that is the death record I posted, birth date matches.

Thanks everyone, your right George died 12 June 2000 in Nottingham. We believe He did stay in Nottingham for his entire life. I think I will maybe have to send for his parents marriage certificate to try and get more info on them as I'm not getting any results when searching for them as a couple or individuals. I'm also unsure of their ages so I'll keep digging until I get the certificate.
