I think that we would normally suggest buying the death certificates to see where they were living at the time or trying local newspapers. Sorry I don't have muck knowledge of Wales.

We are not allowed to do 1911 lookups for you I am afraid so I can't give details of their families.

The date of birth of Lily that I gave on that death registration matches this baptism on lancashireopc
Baptism 27 Jul 1902 St Catharine, Wigan, Lancashire
Lily Heaton, parents Peter Heaton & Alice
Born 12 July 1902
Abode 42 Bridgewater St Ince
Occupation Paviour

There are other possible children of Peter & Alice listed on lancashireopc 
http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html

Lancashirebmd has a possible birth registration which gives mothers maiden surname as Green
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1902   http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
HEATON   Lily   -Hindley   -Wigan & Leigh -mmn GREEN   ref HNDL/148/263
this ties in with the birth reg for sister Beatrice who is also mentioned on lancsopc
1904 - HEATON   Beatrice   -Hindley   -Wigan & Leigh   -mmnGREEN   ref HNDL/157/352
