They had 4 sons and 1 daughter Walter, William, Sidney, Isabel and Herbert. In 1911 William’s father Walter was employed as a Dairyman. William was baptised on 12th October 1900.

I had difficulties finding his grave as he does not have the usual headstone from Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). I queried this with CWGC and they sent their local representatives to look for William’s grave. His grave has a Gallipoli marker as you can see in this photograph.
