On the GRO site there is a birth record for a Sydney Charles Maxwell Boyland reg. Portsmouth Q1 1921 (so could have been born late 1920) mother's maiden name Crossley.

There is one marriage which fits this scenario:  that of Sydney J Boyland to Gladys I Crossley registered Lancaster Mar 1920.

There is no birth registration for a Max Boyland in Dec 1920 or March 1/4 1921 but there is one for a Sidney C M Boyland mmn Crossley in the Portsmouth registration district March 1/4 1921. And another for a Roland M Boyland  mmn Story reg dist Portsmouth Dec 1/4 1920.
There is a tree on ancestry which has the death in 2004 for Max Boyland belonging to the birth of Sidney C M Boyland. On FreeBMD there are two marriages for a Sidney C M Boyland both in the Portsmouth registratio
There must have been a divorce from the first marriage as the wife appears to have remarried in Dec 1/4 1950 registration district Portsmouth.

There are quite a number of Portsmouth newspaper reports for the twenties and thirties of a PC S Boyland/PC Boyland who was a driver of the police ambulance.

In July 1931 bankruptcy proceedings were begun against Sydney John Boyland, Constable, 16 Sophia Place, Portsmouth. The background is explained in the Hampshire Telegraph, 4 Aug 1931. Two years earlier he had been involved in a road accident in Connah's Quay, Flintshire while driving a hired car for which, he understood, he was covered by insurance. He was not and claims by injured parties led to the debts against him.
