shelton frederick and family

I am trying to trace my late father's family who lived at 5/120 highgate street, balsall heath. That was the last known address that I have and it was 1936. There was a frederick norman, nevill and frederick william. The father's name was also frederick which makes it more difficult. Anyone know anything at all about the family and or any living descendants, I would be grateful.
 
A Frederick Norman Shelton married in June 1923 to Violet A Talbot

Children Shelton/Talbot born Birmingham
Neville R 1923
Irene 1927
Barbara W 1932
Maurice B 1934
Gwendoline E 1937
I cannot find a birth record for a Frederick William Shelton on birth records.

Frederick Norman appears to have been married before and lost his wife Jessie in childbirth because there is both
birth of Jessie shelton and death of Jessie Shelton age 30 both in Sept 1921.

Frederick Norman died in 1937(age 46) after the birth of Gwendoline.
 
You cannot begin to imagine what this latest information means to us. We have been trying for the past 3 years to get information on our late father's family. All our investigations finished with the mother (Jessie's) death in 1921. We knew that the father had remarried but all info finished there. We had no idea that he went on to have more children. We have no clue whatsoever as to what happened to the elder brother who was born in 1913 or to the sister Jessie after their mother died in 1921. My father never spoke of his family and the information we have of the Highgate Street address came to me off his army records which I only received last week. There is more than a good chance that we have living relatives in the Birmingham area and we would be so pleased to hear from any of them. Regards
