I've been looking at my 3x gt grandfather Joseph Butcher again, this is the link to him

I don't know why I've never done it before but I searched for "Miram Butcher" (his eldest daughter was baptised Ann Miram) and found a Whitechapel, London burial for Miram Butcher in 1810. Looking further back I found a marriage between James Butcher and Miram Chessen in 1791 in Wapping, Middlesex.
However the only baptism I can find is for John Isaac in Whitechapel, 1807. Surely there would have been other children in the previous 16 years? Where are they? Is one of them Joseph born 1796ish?
Any bright ideas warmly welcomed
