As Christina, above, has said. the original image states that they did have 3 children, but 1 has died.
Of course there is always the possibility they had more children after 1911. You could check this by going to www.freebmd.org.uk and doing a births search.
Put in the fathers surname and mothers maiden name using the date range 1911 to say, 1920. If you think any of the possibles are yours then, using the information given, you can send for the certificate on-line from GRO.

Likewise you can search for deaths in this way.
But remember, the freebmd indexes are not fully transcribed as yet!.

1901 Tunstall 12 Henry St
