After 1911 there are also these births all Collins - Ellison, so possible children:-

Births Mar 1915 (99%)
Collins George W D Ellison Newcastle T. 10b 18
Births Sep 1915 (>99%)
Collins Mary Ellison S. Shields 10a 1742
Births Sep 1918 (99%)
Collins John E Ellison W.Ham 4a 607
Births Dec 1919 (>99%)
Collins Irene Ellison S.Shields 10a 2109

but none are Skipton, so unless they moved they are probably not their children.
