A little more information would help? Where do you think the children were born or baptised?

Baptismal transcriptions for that period are very thin on the ground and many baptisms do not show the actual dates of birth - only the baptismal date

Mary appears to have been born in Preston as her birth was registered there in the December qtr 1902 as was Roberts in the same qtr in 1904

Alice and Ann were both registered in the March qtr of the years shown in Preston
 
These are all the areas covered by the Preston Registration District so you need to narrow down any potential search

Baptisms could take place weeks, months or even years after a birth - and sometimes not at all so it would require a physical search of the parish registers

What religion were the family

Where were they living in 1911
