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.
 
Can't spot her in 1921.

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.
