Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

Well we know edward was baptised with parents Albert and Emma so it makes sense both were Alberts
Especially as 3 later children were all reg as White/Webb. (Emma, Joseph and James)

No idea why they had some chidren baptised but not others.

Edit: we don't know about Edward's baptism but the info about the paper children still makes me think the 2 older ones were Alberts

I obtained the death certificates for both Edward and Walter which confirm Albert Edward Jenkins as father of both. Still not sure why Walter and Alice were listed as White (Alice was registered as Jenkins on her marriage certificate). Was it common for people to change their surname on census without an official marriage? It seems Emma Jane did this twice (from Webb to Jenkins and Jenkins to White).

I'm trying to figure out when Emma Jane and William White got together but details are scant indeed. I believe he was not religious which could possibly explain Emma Jane, James and Joseph White not being baptised?
