They weren't all Irene's siblings.

Some of those children belong to one of the couples, and the rest to the other couple.
It's obvious from their birth registration dates that Olive and George can't belong to the same family, and neither can Leonard and Derek.

The birth cert is the only way to find out.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 15 Feb 2025 16:58

Looking at the 1939 Register - which isn't a census -

we can see that Olive 1926, Derek 1930, and Frank were children of Edward and Ethel,
and that
John 1920, Daisy 1922 and Le(o)nard 1930 were John & Daisy's children.

Without birth certificates, we can't tell who were the parents of the other children.

Get a copy of the birth certificate - or the marriage certificate

Or wait until 2028 for the record to be opened..............

Woodbridge RD covers amongst other places Trimley St Mary - (not Frimley St Mary - there isn't a place named that)

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 17 Feb 2025 12:24

Woodbridge reg district also includes Walton, which is given as Christopher's birthplace in the 1901 census, and is only about a mile away from Trimley St Mary, on the edge of Felixstowe.
