Eileen Joyce Hands Bunker 1908-1956
I am related to Victor F Lewis. He is/was the the son of Ernest Harold and Dorothy Mildred (formerly Hands, nee Young) Lewis. He had half-siblings, Bert East Hands and Eileen Joyce Bunker (nee Hands; my maternal grandmother).
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Don't worry; I'm in Australia so not likely to turn up on any doorsteps. It's simply information I seek so if you have any you can share with me, please message me, I'll be ever so grateful.
Cheers,
Heidi

Yes, you are absolutely correct! Thanks for the tip.
Victor Lewis was born in March (?) 1928. His mother, Dorothy was born in Willesden, Middx. in 1890 and died in Kings Norton, Worcs. in 1964. Victor's father, Ernest Harold Lewis was born in Kings Norton in 1882 but I don't know when he died. Half-sister, Eileen Joyce Bunker (nee Hands), was born in Willesden in 1908 and died in 1956. Half-brother, Bert East Hands, was born in Willesden, too, in 1910 and died in 1964, the same year as his mother.

Ernest and Dorothy - both widowed - married at St Asaph church in Warwickshire on 18 May, 1918. Victor was born 10 years later but I have only found his birth record and marriage registration to Hilary A L Jones in September 1951. I've hit a roadblock!
Thank you for confirming the wedding year.
Cheers,
