Presume this is your fathers birth details

Mar qtr 1930
Raymond S C Chapman mmn Palmer
Lewisham, vol 1d page 1268

if so could this be a possible sibling?

Mar qtr 1932
Francis W Chapman mmn Palmer
St. Olave, vol 1d, page 189.

Hi Ray
That must be their marriage then.
Can't see any births between 1925 to 1930 on freebmd but freebmd is not complete.
Maybe need to search ancestry. Have you any idea on names ?

hi again Joan, I can confirm that 1927 is the date I have for Joyce born in woolwich, it appears that most of the family never left the area so i`m not sure about Aubrey but I appreciate all your efforts

I will carry on looking, but only by buying the birth certs will you be sure.
