If the above birth is correct then this would seem to be his parent's marriage:-

First name(s) GEORGE H
Last name GROOM
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1924
Registration month -
MarriageFinderâ„¢ GEORGE H GROOM married
MARY E LEWIS
Spouse's last name LEWIS
District LIVERPOOL
District number -
County Lancashire
Country England
Volume 8B
Page 391

There is also a birth in 1933 that would be the sister you mention.

Christina, I assume ( from looking at the obvious marriage and births) you are not looking for his children, but possibly offspring of any siblings he may have had?

There are a possible 6 children born to George's sister Barbara. Will send details of her POSSIBLE marriage and details of the 6 births by private message.

Hi - I've got his naval discharge papers here and the birth is definitely 25/12/1924
Yes - im primarily looking for any of his sister Barbara's children - her married name was Lang/Laing ?
However I believe he may have had some children - not sure - he may have emigrated to South Africa in late 1960s for some years and then returned
