Updating this just to see if any Rootschatters could find any more info or suggest tips? Anne and myself have been getting further with finding what happened to our Wilcox relatives but would really like to know more about the siblings and any descendants. If you are reading this and think you have a connection please reply on here or send me a private message.
I will list what we have now. There were 12 siblings in total (the youngest two daughters being from a second marriage), most/some of whom were re-homed during their childhood. Probably when their father died and their mother remarried. Unfortunately this means they lost touch and we have struggled to piece together where each one ended up. We think only two are still living and have thankfully managed to get them back in touch.

Rita Wilcox b.1936
Emily Beryl Jones b.1938 m. Reginald W Vaughan Jun 1/4 1960 Shrewsbury d.2007 Gloucestershire
All were born Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Have left the youngest sibling off as she is still living and we have recently found her. Any help especially on William, Edwin, Rita and Emily would be great. Already in contact with descendants of May, John and Daisy but between us all we still don't know much of the full story.
