You are very welcome.

Please remember that without certificates to confirm info a lot of this is just guess work. (especially the early census records)

You would have to buy the birth certificate for mothers maiden name to know if this is the correct marriage...

If it is then the marriage certificate should give you (at least) their fathers names

The war separated the birth of the children in this family..
Lillian & Stanley (?) were born after the war with mothers maiden name of Coulson.

Can not see a Robert around this time..
Was he a sibling or from another generation ?
