Not found in 1939 Register: possibly in some government service?

There are ten James C Sharp marriages from 1915 to 1960 in England.  I have no idea if any of these were his.

20 James Clifford Sharp entries on Electoral Rolls from 1920 to 1931, all in Yorkshire.
In 1931 James Clifford Sharp and Martha Ann Sharp were living in the same house in 73 Charlotte Street, Paragon, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorks.
But this did not lead to any marriage record.

Will notes for James Clifford Sharp
His probate index:

1963
SHARP James Clifford of 5 Bath View Bramley Leeds died 6 December 1962 at St James Hospital Leeds  Administration Wakefield 18 January to Frederick Roy Sharp housing inspector.  Effects £422 10s.

Who was Frederick Roy Sharp?

He could have been born in Bramley in 1921 to a Sharp-Livesley unioAnd in 1915 a James C Sharp married a Edith W Livesley in Bierley.

So Fred Roy could have been James Clifford’s son.

But the 1939 Register has this trio living together in Leeds and James C Sharp was born on 1 Mar 1902.  So he, James, was of a different family.

Of was this 1901 born James C Sharp another James Clifford Sharp?

There are no James C Sharp birth registrations on the GRO register from 1901 to 1903 inclusive.  Nor from 1900 to 1904 inclusive.
