Interesting, William [Billy] Killed in Salonika 1918, James [Jimmy] Killed in France 1917 don't know of John and Kellie, Elizabeth or Lily seems correct.
Thanks for your help
Have you transposed the years perhaps. William (Oxford & Bucks) appears to have died in 1917, though his age and service no. seem to be wrong on the CWGC site.
neither can i mark at least not in birmingham thats why i asked if ladywood if his mom had ever mentioned where she went after her parents died...thing is with the name elizabeth she could be under eliza..lizzy...lilie plus of course she could have been sent outside of birmingham...
One of Elizabeth's uncles (Walter Cantlin) also appears to be missing from the 1921 census. He was only recently married and had no children so she could be with him. On the 1922 ER he's listed at Ashted Place but if he's there in 1921 he doesn't come up.
Her (Cantlin) grandmother was still alive in 1921 but she's not with her. She's not with any of her (Cantlin) aunts either, 2 of whom are with their mother.
