The following information was provided by Christopher Peers whose father was John Arnold Peers:-

​

"Dad was born on 18th November 1904 at 129 Latimer Street South, Birmingham, from where his father, Ernest, ran the family plumbing business. He was christened John Arnold Peers at St. Asaph's Church on 5th January 1905, but was known to all as "Jack". Also christened there were his older sister, Lena Agnes, who was born in 1902, and a younger brother and sister, Francis (Frank) James and Edna May, who were twins, and were born in 1909. The best source of information for Dad's early life is his own "jottings", as he modestly described them, one copy of which is in my family history file, and another in Birmingham City archives (see the section on REFERENCES AND FURTHER READING at the end of this volume). He married Catherine Dowler in 1927, and had three children from that marriage - Bob, Tony and Betty (Betty died in 2002). He was divorced some time in the late 1930s, and married my mother, Violet Saul, at Birmingham Register Office on 30th April 1955. From 1931 until he moved to Carlyle Road in 1955, he lived at 34 Borrowdale Road, Northfield. He died in Dudley Road, (now City), hospital on 14th November 1985".
