Not much help, looks like a boy's brigade uniform
I'll ask my friend to enhance it.

Hi Carl
It could be worth your while to pay subs to 1911 census.
In the free list I've found James 1879 living in Wolstanton
Mary Hannah aged 27yrs
Florence Ethel 9 yrs, Annie 4yrs, James 3yrs
I hope this is of help.

I found your Thomas born in Wolstanton maiden Beckett
sept qtr 1914
and the death sadly of little Thomas aged 1yr in 1911 Wolstanton
and Mona too 0 yrs 1912.
They often named other children after the ones who had passed away back in those days.
