Weird, I am pretty certain that the mothers maiden name was Jordan, so this would make sense. Do you think that it would be possible for a middle name to be Alice?

Then again, looking at the records, a child called Alice just doesn't seem to add up

Alice could be a middle name or just a pet name, it's likely Sally was Sarah.

Thanks, that seems to be the most likely option.

We need to find Margaret Sarah and Thomas.
They could have been taken in care, in school, listed with a relation's surname, in school and so on.

Why would that have happened? If we are going off the 1911 census, then the mother has died(records say 1910), and Richard and Charles are living with Charles's family. The older ones, Margaret, Sarah and Thomas are clearly not there.

If Charles or more likely his mother was considered unable to care for 5 children, Lord knows where the older children ended up. Life was very hard for motherless children.

Thats really sad, I suppose they must have been taken into care. I'm not too familiar with searching for these type of records, any guidance would be appreciated.

There is this Sarah in school

She is the correct age and religion but the surname is dodgy.
Second from the bottom.

Worth noting at least.
