Ancestry suggests this is Herbert Eastwood's birth:

Herbert Eastwood
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index, 1916-2007
Name: Herbert Eastwood
Registration Date: Jul 1919[Aug 1919] [Sep 1919]
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep

Marriages Sep 1903 (>99%)
EASTWOOD Frederick Wandsworth 1d 1234
KERBEY Mary Wandsworth 1d 1234


But I don't see him in 1939 (in order to compare DOB ). He's not with his parents:

Frederick Eastwood
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: Frederick Eastwood
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Married
Birth Date: 29 Aug 1878
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 1a Victory Rd

Occupation: Storekeeper
Line Number: 43

Sub Schedule Number: 1
Enumeration District: CNQF

Registration district: 30-3.
Inferred Spouse:
Mary Eastwood
Inferred Children:
Edwin Eastwood
Household Members Age
Frederick Eastwood 61

You need his marriage cert, to see who his father was, in case Ancestry is suggesting the wrong birth.

He was of an age to be in the forces, which would account for his not being on the 1939 register

A tree on ancestry has photos attached to Herbert Eastwood and his family. He is the Wandsworth birth with parents Frederick Austen Eastwood and Mary Kerbey. There is a beautiful wedding picture with all the family and also a picture of 'Bert' in Italy in 1938 with military buddies.
