The record for this person is officially closed.
1939 ref: RG101/2333D/010/25
Their son stephen was found with his paternal grandmother in this 1939 Register. But I don’t think the youngster who is redacted will be Robert and Elsie’s daughter. If their daughter had been there, she would have been listed immediately after her elder brother. So the redacted person is more likely to have been a servant.
