Seems to be two sons - born 1911 (George Frederick William Bannister - GRO has mother's name as Igglesdon) and 1914.

Lillian possibly remarried in 1920 to a Frederick J Turner.

It looks like all ended up Western Australia - there is an (index only) entry for a George Fredrick (no e) William Bannister on Recordsearch for WWII with mother Lilian Turner.

George F W Bannister married Helen Newman in 1932.

Sadly she died young in 1941:

Fred Bannister, brother in law, and Mr and Mrs F. J. Turner (father and mother in law) are listed, suggesting that the whole family had moved down.
