Notes for John Walter Mills
There are 350 odd births of John Walter Mills from 1916 to 1936 so I cannot identify his birth that way.

I could get his and Rosemary’s marriage certificate which would give his age and his father’s name.  But the apparent fact of no issue from this marriage does not make it worth the while putting money into this search.
__________________

However his wife in her will named him as John Walter and said she wished to be buried with him at Belmont Abbey, Hereford.  This indicates that he probably died in Herefords and a search for his death provided this index:

Name:                   Year of Birth:  
MILLS, JOHN WALTER      1917  
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q1/1997 in HEREFORD  (5161A)  Reg A14D  Entry Number 33

And there is a will to go with this.
__________________

This birth year provided one only record on the GRO online index:

Name:                   Mother's Maiden Surname:
MILLS, JOHN WALTER      SPICER  
GRO Reference: 1917  D Quarter in COVENTRY  Volume 06D  Page 1104

A birth in Coventry m ight provide a link to the Coventry solicitors that hsi wife appointed as co-executor for her will.

The evidence is strong enough to throw 30/- at the price of his will.

Will notes for John Walter Mills
There is a chance that this might be his probate as the death registration district was Hereford where they lived:

Surname  First name  Date of probate  Probate number   Date of death    Document type   Registry
MILLS    JOHN WALTER  06 June 1997    9751210692      28 February 1997  Grant and will  Birmingham

Ordered to see if it mentions his wife’s name and his two offspring.
