Thank you both Jane & Selina.
Cecilie Margaret looks to be a possibility so I'll follow that up.
"Sissy" I haven't a clue if that's her real name or an abbreviation of something else.
As far as Vera there has been talk of a middle name of Rose but I can't find any.

Could only find a Doris 1911 (mmn Barnes) in the same area.

Is Sissy her proper name or an abreviation for Cecily, Cecila or similar or even Doris?

Not sure if this is Vera's birth - its a year out but near the area - her mother's Maiden name is Barnes.

Births Dec 1913
HOWARD Vera A Barnes Camberwell 1d 1390

off to have a look for Sissy....

No Yorkie, I don't mind sending for it but hoped there might be a quicker option.

I'm looking for parents of Stanley William Howard 1909 born in Wandsworth. I know he had siblings Vera c1912, Charles who I believe to be his older brother, a sister known as Sissy and there may be more. Think they were all born in the same area of very near.

I can't find anything other than Stanley Wm's registration of birth.
