Their parents married in Bethnal Green in 1925.  If you look at FreeBMD for Stevenson births with mother's maiden name Webb in London 1925-1945 you'll see the various birth registrations for the family (plus a few unrelated ones).

Mum & boys appear to have been in Norfolk immediately before the war, though who knows how long for.  You can see the 1939 Register for yourself on Findmypast.

There is in the 1939 register ...

Eric J dob 3 Feb 1928 and Raymond dob 6 Jun 1935 at the home of the Hornigold family, 47 Loke Road, King's Lynn M.B., Norfolk, England.

Interestingly there is also Emma Stevenson, married, dob 18 Jan 1902 with them ?

Could this be where they were evacuated to ...

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=TNA%2FR39%2F6525%2F6525J%2F004%2F43

Were there evacuations before the register?

Salute,

Janelle

Maybe they were visiting this family, and not evacuated there?

Maybe the evacuation was later?

Wow .. a mystery. You and your friend have got to get the death cert to satisfy MY curiosity now.  ;D

Salute,

Janelle

If the year was 1939  Raymond would have been too young to be staying with anyone surely, he would have been 3/4.

What  a mystery ??? ???
I love the profile picture who is it.

He died in 1941 I am not sure what to think now I have ordered the death certificate but I have put Ploughley Oxfordshire will they find him where ever he is???????

He was with his mother and brothers in 1939.  They may just have been making a short autumn visit to friends/relations - nothing more significant than that.  Or they may have been formally evacuated, as many women and children were from London in September 1939.  Emma Stevenson must have gone back to London in due course, as if your friend's name begins with B it looks as though she was born in Bethnal Green in 1941.

The death record from Ploughley district will tell you where he died within that district.  As it is a child's death certificate it should also state (in the "occupation" box) the name of his father (so "son of John Stevenson") though in an evacuation situation the details may not have been accurately known.

Do let us know when the certificate arrives.

Thanks, AMV,

My friend is busy trying to work out what her mother was doing in Kings Lynn.
As she doesn't think they have any relatives there.
