The name Staite caught my eye, hence my initial response, because these were our Neighbours when I grew up in Swindon, Wiltshire.

This is the 1911 Census, Wiltshire, Crowdy's Hill, Upper Stratton, Swindon

George STAITE - 58 - born Guitings, Glos
Mary - 53
Percy - 21
Walter - 18 - (Walter Charles STAITE) - born Blunsdon, Wiltshire) - who lived in this house until his death.
Florence - 14
Ernest - 11

Ironically, many, many years ago, my late Dad borrowed (or was given?) from our neighbour Walter Charles STAITE a Saw - stamped W S STAITE - which Walter used when he was working in the Great Western Railways - this Saw (made by Rye & Co of New Swindon) never went back - because it's in our garage with my husband's tools.
