Bramwell Gordon Hollis was the son of Edgar Hollis and Beatrice Widdowson, and was born in Hackney, London on 17 January 1913.
Bramwell was killed in the sinking of the HMS Hood in 1941.
However, I am trying to find out about Bramwell's brother - I think he was born after Bramwell, but so far have found no record!
Can anyone help?

The GRO Index has a birth registration for an Edgar H Hollis, mother's maiden name Widdowson, in March quarter 1914, Rochford (Essex) registration district.
He's living in Kent with, presumably his wife, in 1939. (1939 Register available only on Findmypast.)
Death registration for Edgar Howard Hollis, born 7 Feb 1914, in March quarter 1993 Sutton (Surrey) registration district.
Probate Registry website is unavailable for me at the moment. You can check it to see if Edgar left a will.

Yes, I think that is the one I was looking for! Thanks very much for your help. I don't know why it didn't come up on any of my searches - possibly because I didn't know the Rochford bit!
