have you found his marriage to Maria? You can check for births, deaths and marriages yourself on freebmd and then using the ref buy the certificate for £7 from GRO online to get further info on your people

Looks like the Marriage: Do you think its the right one? Surely more kids before the one you mention in 1912?

Heather, there is only one on the WW1 pension records, Charles James Arthur William, born 3 January 1912 in Aston, Birmingham, but I can't see a registration for him.
