Sadie, I'm afraid we'll have a long wait for the 1921 census!

By the other child born 1913 do you mean the one also named Rowland who died soon after birth?

Maybe the middle name of Hill came from Bessie Hill mother of Florence Gertrude Hunt..

The child born 1913 died......I must say it seems unlikely that he wasn't also Florence's child

There is a school of thought that second forenames are sometimes a clue to the father of illegitimate children.....but don't take it for granted that it applies in this case.

If there was no father named on the birth certificate, the likelyhood of anyone other than perhaps a living relative of your father knowing the name of you paternal grandfather is rather slim.
