They also had 5 other children who died:

- Henry George
b. 13/12/1899. Baptised 31/12/1899. 23 Hamilton Road Old Ford. Died Dec 1903, just after his father had died! These 5 infant deaths reflect how unhealthy a place Bethnal Green
was at the turn of the century.
I have all the baptisms of these 10 children, the family being at a different address for all of them except one!. There is a 4 year gap, 1886-1890, of known births: I suspect there must have been a stillborn or a miscarriage in this period.

Sponsors only shown on 4 of them. The only interesting sponsor is Esther Causton on the 1896 baptism. Esther is the 13 yr old daughter of Thomas Causton in the 1891C; Elizabeth Fedden marries him in 1904 after she has been widowed in 1903.
