Thomas ASPIN aged 5 in Salford in 1911 census was with parents James Henry and Mary Alice, married 11 years.
Marriage of James Henry ASPIN in Salford Q3 1900 - one of 2 possible spouses was Alice PARKINSON
Therefore looks likely that Thomas ASPIN born 1905 and Arnold ASPIN born 1913 were brothers.
There were other siblings on 1911 census:
William aged 10, Martha Alice aged 8, James aged 7, Nellie aged 3, Harold aged 1 and Robert aged 4 (but wonder as he was listed last whether age should have been 4 months).
Update - no I looked at birth index and Robert ASPIN was born 1906 so was indeed 4 years old, just listed out of sequence.Judith passed away in October 2018
