The tree has a son Guy Menage Longstaffe, born 1917.

I’m not sure but I think a free Ancestry membership allows you to look at trees, although you won’t be able to follow all the details.

That has to be his son but isnt that 4 years before his marriage to Elizabeth?

Has anybody identified his mother and father in the census.

We are told its a John William Longstaffe, a draper, but I can't find any close matches.
