The family Mason

Hello. I'm trying to trace my relatives on my paternal grandmothers side. Her name was Nell(ie) Mason. Born in Birmingham c1884. I know that she had 6 brothers - I only know two of the names, Henry and Sid - and they all served in the Coldstream Guards. I think they lived in or around Aston/Nechells.
She married a Walter Goulding. Does anyone recognise or know anything of the people named here? Many thanks.
 
Appears to have been born 1 Jun 1891, the daughter of Henry Mason and Emma Moulton. Living at 17 St Clements Road in 1939.

Possible siblings (some may have died young) - James 1888, Elizabeth 1890, Henry 1893, Emily 1895, William 1897, Frank 1899, Frederick John 1901, Samuel 1902, Arthur 1904, Sidney 1906

Elizabeth & Frederick John appear to have died young.

In 1891 Henry & Emma and family are on Railway Terrace, in 1901 they're on Trevor St, in 1911 they're on Johnson St and in 1921 Emma (re-married but widowed again) is still there.

All Nechells.

Thanks again, MWS.
Do any people with the surname Mason recognise any of the above great-uncles of mine? are they your family?
Thanks
 
It a little easier this time to trace back than forward, Mason being a fairly common name.

Emily possibly married an Edwin Davis. Frank pos. m Elizabeth Mary Goode (no children). William pos. m Florence Margaret Lee (3 or 4 children maybe).

And a few more...

Arthur pos. never married. Sidney pos. m Doris Rowley (1 daughter).
