`  == Place of Birth ==  ``Stanshall was born on 21 March 1943 at the Radcliffe Maternity Home in Shillingford, and christened Victor Anthony Stanshall. (The name and the date are certainly correct but there is much speculation about the place, with his mother herself stating Shillingford, Oxfordshire and his father claiming Walthamstow.``  If you check Births, Marriages and Deaths index records you find that the only recorded birth of a Victor Stanshall in the 1940s is in Oxfordshire in the period Jan - Mar 1943. The mother's maiden name was Wadeson. He was therefore not born in Walthamstow.`
