There's a public tree on Ancestry but it doesn't list William https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/9559046/person/-161063598/facts

I'll try to follow up on all this new information when I visit the NR at Kew later this month.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong but Kew don't generally have parish registers, you possibly want London Metropolitan archives for those.  I would suggest that you look at both websites for what information they hold before travelling to either.

I believe that the LDS family history centre which was temporarily at Kew has now moved

Good Morning
Here's the rest of Robert and Sarah Davidson's children baptised in London St Giles Holborn
Robert 24 April bapt 13 July 1817 5 Bury St Bloomsbury baker
Catherine Jane 11 April 1819 born 5th Jan  30 Drapers Place Bloomsbury baker
Sarah Ann 2.2.1821 born 8th Oct 1820  1 Market St Bloomsbury baker
Caroline 8 Sep 1822 born 19 May 1822 same
William 29.8.1824 born 20th March 1 Market St Bloomsbury baker
David 14 May 1826 born 30 Dec 1825 same
Miles Sarah  1 Jan 1829 born 23 Sep 1827 same you already have.

(Sorry missed the post with the rest of the children on but seeing as I've typed them out I'll leave them).

Robert Davidson seems to have married Sarah Crossfield 13 May 1826 at St James Piccadily
wit Sarah Stevenson and Sarah Wyatt.

Sarah is buried at St George Bloomsbury  19 Feb 1832 age 36 years of Market St
So it may well be that Robert then remarried.

Caroline Davidson b 1822 married George Simmonds at St George the Martyr, Southwark on 3 Sep 1843.  Father: Robert Davidson, baker.

Witnesses were William Stead & Elizabeth Sarah White.

Unfortunately she seems to be in service in 1841, so doesn’t lead us to the rest of the family.

I womder whether Miles and Sarah were twins, and the baptism register is misleading?  They are listed as separate grandchildren in Robert snr’s will, according to the list posted above.  We are also missing the youngest children Elizabeth and John.
