Thank you aus
I also have 10 children in total

There were 7 children of William altree williams + Margaret Jane smith  an the 1911 census and on the 1915 outward journey to Australia
The youngest being William Altree Williams  B 1910

I wonder if child 8 Jean was born on the boat 1915

Yes, Jean may have been born on the voyage out in 1915. There is no birth record for her in NSW but she married married Keith David Kennedy in 1941 at Randwick [18985/1941 KENNEDY KEITH DAVID ALTREE-WILLIAMS JEAN RANDWICK], which would make her 26 if she was born in 1915. The dates don't stack up for her to have been been a daughter of Charles (m.Florence Davenport in 1927) or Frank (m.Thelma Menchin in 1928) unless she married at 17 with permission

There was a Lilian Altree-Williams registered in the Apr-Jun qtr of 1908 at Birkenhead. Despite having the Altree middle name the GRO index has her mother's  maiden name as Osbourne [WILLIAMS, LILIAN  ALTREE    OSBORNE GRO Reference: 1908  J Quarter in BIRKENHEAD  Volume 08A  Page 549] and the location is slightly off in Cheshire - So she is not of the family who came to Aus, but with that surname she must be a closely related
