Have sent pm with possible siblings, but no sign of Iris unforunately. :confused: I see the parents married Q4 1918, lots of possible children including first children, twins William A and Racheal A in 1920 on FreeBMD.

Could Iris have been a second name which was used instead of the first for some reason?

Squirrelnut, you could have a day out to research this at the Nottinghamshire Archives and find the baptisms of all William and Rachel's children and then possibly your aunt's wedding in the home parish if they didn't move around much.
