Missing Rowland family members- help required

[NooshieW]

Hi,
I cannot find two individuals from the same family. One is Edward Rowland born December 1919, parents William and Lilian Rowland nee Gould -Brighton.
The other is Lilian Joan Tapner born 1920 in Brighton- parents Emily Rowland and John Joseph Tapner.
I have Edward on the 1939 register, but cannot find his birth registration or any subsequent records.
I only have Lilians birth reg. Her parents divorced and lived latterly in Wandsworth.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
NB The two missing people are Uncle and niece

Re Lilian - when did her parents divorce?  Did her mother remarry?  Could she have taken her stepfathers surname?

There is a 1939 Battersea marriage of Joan L. Tapner  to Samuel Scammell
She can then be found with a birth of 17 Oct 1920.

Re Edward

If he was b Dec 1919 & was their son - he will be on the 1921 census.  I have a feeling he may have been their grandson

Their last child as at 1911 was b 1903/04

Hi, thanks so far. Emily Tapner, Lilian Joan’s mother ,remarried twice more to a Loosemore and a Flockhart. I tried the Loosemore option as this was the first of the marriages. Thanks for the Joan L Tapner version, I didn’t think to transpose the names.
As for Edward , the parents William and Lillian, lost their only son also William, in WW1 in 1918, he was unmarried. As far as I know Lilian Joan was the only grandchild, hence I believe that Edward is a son, albeit a late one.

Did you look at the 1911 for William & Lilian - they had 2 daughters - both of whom would have been old enough to have had a child in 1919 - married or not

When did William & Lily/Lilian marry?

[mckha489]

The 1921 for William has been transcribed as ROULAND
Hovering I can see Lily and Lily Mary.

If Edward was their son he would be with his parents.

1911 daughter is Emily Louisa mmn Golds - not Gould

Lilian Mary - mmn Golds

Henry William - mmn Golds

Marriage 1893 - William Rowland/Lilly Golds
