The only way to find out the names of the parents is to find the birth reg'n

Have you tried to find it on freebmd?

T o discover if any GR member has the names......go to 'search trees' at the top of the page.

[Also Elsie Gibson Kettering 1914, mother's maiden name Papworth

- not getting anywhere with James Henry.

- which was his preferred name - Jim/James/Henry/Harry/other?]

Edit - I think this one should be ignored for now since I cannot locate any siblings with the right names

Perhaps a better fit:

Gibson, mother's maiden name Hiscock:

James H Jun qtr 1918 Daventry 3b 138
and Elsie M Jun qtr 1920 Hardingstone 3b 60

(Hardingstone has similarities to the sound of Ardingley)

.... and Violet L Gibson, mother's maiden name Hiscock, in Brixworth Dec qtr 1926;
vol 3b 129.

NB Brixworth looks like it will be the registration district for Lamport (both due north of Northampton)

The birth certificates of any of these three should provide the Christian names of their father and mother. Once you have their names (assuming these birth registrations are the ones you are looking for), you could try an article in the Northampton Mercury to see if there are any family friends who remember them.
