Can't find two of these people

I don't think the Barnes connection is correct.  I have found a Eveline McPherson on the 1901 census with mother Elizabeth.  Checked some of the other children and the mother is a Barnes:

Household Members:   
Name   Age
Elizabeth McPherson   53  widow
John D McPherson   25
Ernest A McPherson   24
Bessie McPherson   23
Charles McPherson   21
Isabel McPherson   16
Eveline McPherson   14
George McPherson   11

The 1891 census has Fred & Emma living with Freds parents and 2 children Frederick  and Jessy.  The original does look like Jessy but could also possibly be Lilly:

"Jessy" is enumerated as a 3 yr old girl (born Stepney) but I think that the child was in fact a son of Emma's first marriage.

Marriage of Emma Knox to Jesse Mills: Dec qtr 1887 Bethnal Green.

Birth reg of Jesse William Mills, mmn Knox: Sep qtr 1888 Mile End Old Town.

Emma's husband's possible death: Jesse Mills aged 21, Sep qtr 1888 Mile End**

**Added: The deaths register of the Mile End Old Town Infirmary shows that Jesse died on 14 June 1888 aged 21 - cause of death Morbus Cordis.

School records for "Jess. Wm." Mills show that he was admitted to Dr Barnardo's School, Tower Hamlets on 22 June 1896.  His birthdate was given as 2.8.88 - so a few weeks after his father's death.  Parents named as Jess. & Emma.  Abode: 26 Elsa St.  Previous school: Ben Jonson.   He finally left the school on 13 July 1900.

Numbers of children mentioned on 1911 are supposed to relate to the current marriage so should not show any from previous marriages.  People do get confused though

I think you are correct Rosie - not checked all but think I have found at least 3 deaths for children with Emma.

[rosie99]

As well as the three children I have already mentioned other possible McPherson/Knox children were
William 1892 (Poplar) - died same qtr
Sarah 1902 (West Ham)
Mary Ann Lily Helena 1904 (Mile End)
Henry Albert 1906 (West Ham)
Thomas 1909 (West Ham)

still looking in case there are more
I deleted Mary Bernie as it was totally wrong

Sorry just got home from work, to see all your replies.
 Emma knox was married to a Jesse mills before she married Fredrick, they had a child Jesse William Mills.
She then married Frederick on 10 Nov 1889. I'm unsure as to who Fred married before emma. I personally thought it was Agnes Pegram. But my mums cousin seems to have a Sophia Emma which I'm not sure that is right or where she got this info.
The children I have found belonging to Fred and Emma are....
William McPherson 1893-?
Edwin McPherson 1895-1949
Robert William McPherson 1897-1898
Emma McPherson 1900-?
Sarah McPherson 1902-?
Mary Ann Lilian Helena McPherson 1904-1983
Henry Albert McPherson 1906-1909
Thomas McPherson 1909-1979
Theresa McPherson 1912-?
