Hello Gezn7714,

Checking the Free UK BMD records - it looks as if William J G Elms married in Brentford  Dec 1923 (3a361) to Eileen Estcourt.
A birth appears the following year for a Robert C Elms Sept 1924 in Brentford (3a 189)
A death record for Robert Charles Elms - Born 9 Aug 1924 - Died in  1971 - Registration district: Hounslow. Greater London Volume: 5c Page: 1333.

It looks as if the parents that he was with on the 1901 Census both died young -
John G Elms died Brentford Dec - 1911 aged 36
Emily A Elms died Brentford  Mar - 1914 aged 41

There are many Elms birth entries for children born in Brentford between 1901 and 1911, so perhaps possible he may have had other siblings.

Unfortunately I cannot see any entries for William J G, Eileen or Robert C appearing on passenger lists. Sorry could'nt be more helpful for you.

Regards
Sandra :(
