Neville H WOOD c 1918

[NormanE]

The 1921 Census for Walter James Wood's family of Gloucester lists 5 Children, the last of which is Neville H WOOD aged 2 years and 3 Months.
I have searched for Neville without success.
Any help or thoughts would be most welcome.

What was the maiden surname of his supposed mother

[Milliepede]

Do you mean searched for his birth or?

Maybe he preferred using his middle name H whatever that was and can be found later on under that?

I cannot see this person in 1921, I wonder if he is relevant to that entry

Thank you for your replies
Rosie you’ve got the right record in the 1921
I believe Florence left the family and I know Walter was away involved in WW1.
The key question fo me is, Does  Neville who according to the 1921 was born March 1919 exist?
Florence was an Edwards

I still wonder if he is Neville Henry Cook.  He could have been staying with the Wood family in 1921 and surname wrongly entered

Neville Henry Cook
Death Age:   70
Birth Date:   4 Mar 1919
Death Registration Date:   Apr 1989
Registration District:   Isle of Wight

The 1921 has a Cook family in Melksham but no son Neville.

Birth Dec qtr 1918   
Cook    Stanley W    mmn Merrett    Melksham    5a   138   

Birth Mar qtr 1921   
Cook    Cecil R    mmn Merrett    Melksham    5a   176

Your thought about Neville Henry Cook being a guest is interesting.
Two points. Would Walter know Neville’s age to the month and
the Cook and Wood birth dates seem to imply a 6 month Cook pregnancy .
