Buckinghamshire / Whatever happened to . . .

William HOLTON and his wife Elizabeth (possibly née HOWKINS) lived in Tingewick. They had at least 9 children between 1784 and 1803. I have information on some of the children, but very little beyond their baptisms on several of them.
In particular, the following three children seem to disappear completely after their baptisms:
Joseph HOLTON - bap 1785
Ann HOLTON - bap 1798
Elizabeth HOLTON
Did they die in infancy? Or did they go on to marry? As is often the case with females, it is difficult to track the two girls in the censuses due to possible name changes.
Another puzzle is William HOLTON (bap 1787), who according to the excellent People of Tingewick website married Susanna NORMAN on 15 Oct 1810 in Buckingham. The problem being that I can find no record of this marriage.
