There's a Frank D. Fielder, 3rd quarter 1914, Malling. (2a 1614). Mother's maiden name Shilling.

Rose probably has found it. Although born in June, if his birth was not registered until July, it would come under Sept 1914 quarter. Does the mother's maiden name and district fit?

You are on fire Rose. Malling in Kent is very close to Maidstone. Well done.

I assume he was the youngest as it looks like Alice was about 42 when she had him.
