National School Admission Registers :

James Symonds  d.o.b. 17.9.76.  admitted 20.10.80. St Peter Parmentergate National School, Norwich
Parent/Guardian : Leah Symonds , Watson's Yard

Interesting that the birthdate matches the 1939 .

"Interesting" is an understatement. I think james-of-leah looks like my guy. So that means the other records relate too, as the jigaw pieces tumble nicely into place.

My greatful thanks to all.

James Symonds Snr was a Shoemaker & George Berryman was a boot machinist. Could be he worked for James. Hence including Symonds in his offsprings names.

Well hidden in the 1881 Census ... 

RG11/1942/ 74 p19

The surname is "Simons" and wife "Leah Margaret" is going by "Margaret" (which she also does later on).

I hope you can check this out, found it a bit confusing

freebmd's
Dec qtr 1876
Norwich
James W Symonds
ref shows D27
referred to Hales

So I checked on James W Hales, no mmn and against this but it shows occasional copy A

I have no idea what this means

Might not be anything to do with you but it seems strange

James William Hales 1875 J qtr ref 4b 130

same but                 1876 D qtr ref 4b 134

No mother's maiden name on either

Not sure if this helps or not someone had asked the question

New GRO indexes: what is an 'occasional copy'? - see link below for the full question/answer
https://genealogy-specialists.com/threads/occasional-copy-a.8646/

Here’s a snippet
Where original registration has been amended in some way, requiring an “occasional copy” to be sent to the Registrar General
(ie to supersede the original Quarterly Certified Copy).

This is also on FreeBMD when you click on D27

This entry appears to be a late entry referring to the following
Dec 1927 Symonds   James W   mmn Hales   Norwich   4b   136
               
The above transcription represents what is in the GRO index but it is referred to by the following entry
Births 1876 Dec: Symonds James W Norwich ,?, see D27 which implies that this is a late entry, that is an entry that has been registered in a quarter later than the event
