Two younger children.

Oliver and Harold. From GRO they are Oliver Joseph b 1904 and Harold Thomas b 1908
If you look for them in 1939 you find the whole family (Oliver has married but Harold is with parents ) with one redaction which I assume is your Norman.

Thanks so much ckha89M I didn't see those two on the 1939 I must have been looking at the wrong family as it was just mum and dad. I can see it now although I can see now why I was getting it wrong Elizabeth L is the mother and I was looking at Liza S- Eliza S as that was what she was in 1901 by 1911 she was Elizabeth L. The whole family have been a nightmare as 1851 they were down as Iunions and in 1861 as Amons I had to think about accents and realise "Eye me name be Ununons" would be how they answered the questions.

I think L and S are a bit interchangeable in that loopy handwriting.

re pronunciation - I have Onians in my tree. We pronounce it Oh NYE Ans  not Unyuns!
