Both Cyril and Joyce have died.

The Ancestry version is incorrect - the original, with image, was from FMP.

Edith''s yob does look like 1926. I can't see what else it could be. To fit in with the other births, it must have been between Joyce's in May 1924 & Pauline Myra Banner 4Q 1933. (she died 2014)
I've tried both Banner & Bonner mmn Wheelhouse as well as without mmn.
I've even mucked around with Wheelhouse in case she was Edith Mary's niece or something.

Albert W H Banner's religion is stated to be Wesleyn. Trying to think laterally, could she have become a missionary & gone overseas? But that doesn't explain why there's no birth record. Grrr

I'm presuming the transcription of his NOK is incorrect, but ancestry has this record (original on fold3):

---------------------------------------------

Can't see anything for Edith, but she would fit nicely in the large gap between other children.

Nothing for Edith Barbara!! I did wonder if she was evacuated overseas but then you'd have expected other siblings to go as well.

Nop, for Ancestry or a birth on Freebmd. Its as if she's vanished into thin air? Perhaps she was adopted but that doesn't explain her total disappearance :-S

No records of any type for Edith B Banner on FMP or freebmd, as I'm sure you've already discovered

Although I've been able to confirm the older 2 (& 2 others b 1933 & 1936) can find nothing for Edith Barbara born Hitchin Herts.

Albert & family were in Stafford by 1939. He seems to be a career RAF technician/fitter. He & the family were living on base at Henlow, Bedfordshire when the form was completed in, possibly, 1924. Edith's name is a later addition.
