Hi JPG,

Thanks for your reply.  No I didn't know about the son who lost his life in WW1.  I've only just picked up this family line so every thing about the family is new to me.  Do you know if the son was Charles or Thomas?
I think they were the only 2 sons of James and Emma, I know they had a daughter Millicent May as well. 

Regards
Jo

Hi Jo,

I am working on a book about Lichfield in WW1 and with this name on the memorials I have researched all the 220 men.

From the 1911 census
James born 1858 Farmer Lichfield
Emma born 1848 Bermondsey London   
Charles born 1888 Assisting On Farm Lichfield
Millie born 1890 Dressmaker Lichfield
Thomas born 1892 Assisting On Farm  Lichfield
ELLOITT, Mary Anne Sister In Law Widow born 1846 Bermondsey London

The name is quite regular in local history
