Did Henry and Elizabeth have other children? Did they include Nancy, Betty, Polly etc?

I'm chasing those through now on the census as this little lot seem to be the only branch that remained in the Wragby area. Their grandparents got into some bother with the law over fowl stealng and an alleged murder in the 1830's and 1840's.
The children named in the '41 and '51 are all regulars in the tree across the generations but I haven't followed them through fully at present.
The only baptism circa 1800 is for Robin in 1799, son of Henry and Elizabeth.
