Think the only way is to get the cert for its info

My grandparents were Claud Edgar Wallace & Sarah Ball. They had children Frank (1909) & Ivy (c1910).
Family recollection is that there was also a second daughter but only the nickname of “Babe” is known and no year of birth, but I believe she was the youngest sibling.

Claud died in service in July 1918 and Sarah went on to marry an Alfred Talmage in December 1919 and had a son also called Alfred.

I have no idea if the missing daughter was that of Claud & Sarah or Claud or Sarah’s from a previous partner.

I have found a birth record of a Sylvia M Wallace- (Mother Ball) in Leek, Staffordshire for June 1918. Although Sarah lived in London she was born in Staffordshire, so I am wondering if maybe she could have returned home for the birth? Maybe the child wasn’t Claud’s and she was trying to hide the fact? Maybe this has no connection at all? I will request the certificate to see if it helps me.

Could be just a coincidence but my father named his first two daughters Sylvia & Marion-could this be after his baby sister?

Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Thank you
