Wikipedia says that John Simpson's full name is John Cody Fidler-Simpson, born 9 Aug 1944, so his birth registration must be John C Fidler, mother's maiden name Cody, Jul-Sep 1944 Fylde, Lancashire. On Lancashire BMD his name is John Cody Fidler and there are two MMN's: Cody and Keen. Not Whittall! Presumably the children were known as the Cody family after Arthur Whittall died and they went to live with the Codys, but I wonder where the name Keen fits in?
Ah, there is a marriage between a George H Keen and Joyce Whittall Oct-Dec 1928 Epsom, Surrey, and then Joyce L V Keen married Roy S Fidler Jul-Sep 1941 Croydon, Surrey. Perhaps George H Keen is the one who died Oct-Dec 1933 Reigate, Surrey, age 31?
And presumably John's father is Roy Simpson Fidler-Simpson who died Jun 1980 Lambeth, dob 15 Jul 1914. His name is Roy S Fidler on the birth index.
