Sorry Liz! 
(Just because his age looks quite clearly like 3 on the 1901 census!)

So Gloucester! You say you're interested mainly in the Aussie sources. Would you still like the 1891 details or do you already have it?

Thank you!
You have been busy bees!
I think Thomas Shillitoe was the eldest, named after his maternal great grandfather Shillitoe. I've traced back to the 1790's, with the names Taylor, Cottam, Shillitoe and Dyson-Ownsworth.It's going forward that's the problem, especially with such common first names! John junior was Jack, Catherine was Kate and I imagine Thomas dropped the Shillitoe from time to time.
I think Jack went to Wakefield Grammar and (possibly) Oxford and was a colliery manager and one of the girls was a town councilor.
I have war records for Fred for WW1 and WW2 but wondered if the other boys had a war record and what became of them in the interwar period?
You know what family stories are like... I heard Thomas Shillitoe went to Australia but don't know much about when or, where?
Thanks for all your efforts!
