I have a birth cert which has thrown up more questions than answers.Can anybody help sort it out.
The information on the cert is as follows

Reg dist Croydon.

30th April 1943 Erica Phyllis (girl)
Father:Eric Whan Mason
Mother: Phyllis Calkin otherwise Mason,formerly Kingham.

Both parents registered the birth and were living at the same address in Croydon at the time but we can find no trace of Phyllis under any of her surnames although we have been given a possible dob of 1921.
We know a bit more about Eric such as his dob ,26 Oct 1903 in Camberwell, and a record of him returning to England from Nigeria in 1930.
Any suggestions please.
