The three missing children are not in the 1901 Census. The children were sent to Dr Barnardos and Mullers.

Could they have been split up - one group to Canada & the other to Australia?

The other family members were also poor and living in single rooms. Harry's family were living in Bradford-on-Avon and seem to have turned their back on him.

Harry drowned his wife in the River Avon after a struggle. It is interesting to note that his father-in-law spoke up for him at his trial.

I went to the site and found two children that were missing from research:

Alfred (Henry) Dainton (born 16 Dec. 1877)
George Thomas Dainton (born 1882)

The other members of family are not listed - does this mean they were not sent to Canada?

Missing from same family:

Charles William Dainton born 1 Nov 1879
Edward Dainton born 1886
Ellen Dainton born 1888

All were the children of Hannah Rachel (nee Hardick) & Alfred Henry "Harry" Dainton.

Harry murdered his wife on 8 September 1891 & Harry was executed in Decembe 1891 for the crime. Children were sent to orphanage in Bath, Somerset.
