In the absence of anything more 'concrete', this looks like a good 'possible' for William Snr. (Hylton's father)?

This appears to be the family in 1939 although mother is down as Mary 'H' and there is no sign of Hylton but the other 2 children match?

Helps to know the area
Marriages Sep 1915

Sims William Hall Sunderland 10a 1347

Births Mar 1920

Not seeing them on the 1939 register so you need the marriage cert for ages and fathers names

I have just been asked about the couple above, They were married Sep Qtr
1915 and I know had one son Hylton Sims who was married to my mother-in-laws sister Maisie Herridge and they had two daughters June & Layla/Lana. This gentleman is the brother of William and knows nothing of the family before them and I would really like to help. Could anybody help me please. I don't have birth dates of the couple.
Thank you Julia
