I see he was born in Osgathorpe, registered Ashby de la Zouch

He married in 1911

No sign in the passenger lists as far as I can tell

There is a marriage in Perth in 1930 for a John SIDDONS but can't work out how to find the spouse

On the National Archives of Australia, there are two items of interest, an Edith (John) SIDDONS 1933

B741 V/11309 Mrs Edith (John) Siddons
Access status: Open
Location: Melbourne
1933 - 1933 405196

and a John SIDDONS

B884 V144583 SIDDONS JOHN : Service Number - V144583 : Date of birth - 18 Aug 1880 : Place of birth - LEICESTER ENGLAND : Place of enlistment - ROYAL PARK VIC : Next of Kin - SIDDONS EDITH
Access status: Not yet examined
Location: Canberra
1939 - 1948 6275283

I suspect you have most or all of the following

My attention was drawn to your post as first I was born in Leicestershire (about 15 miles from Osgathorpe) and second my wifes side also of Leicestershire but Derbyshire as well, are sometimes recorded as SIDDONS, their main name is SITDOWN or SIDDOWN
