If I have the right family then these are the dates of the children that you know of born in Hull:

John b. 1890
Elizabeth b. 1895
Clara b. 1902

There is a big gap between the births of the children and with a name like Smith they won't be easy to find.

I have had a good look on Family Search but there were no matches that I could find for Smith/King and so many Smith babies born between those dates that have no parents names. Some of the children could have been stillborn or died soon after birth  :-\

Someone else may have better luck than me.

Hi

Maybe a silly suggestion 8)

As the family appear to be living at Flemmings Gallery, Smeaton Street which can be found at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Transcriptions/ERY/Hull1892StreetsS.html

If you locate the nearest church then search the baptism records at the archives and see if you can spot the missing children, assuming that they lived long enough to be baptised, a long and tedious job but I can't think of any other way.

If you google 31, Brazil Street, Holderness Road, Hull it is still there and there is a PDF showing you the house and it's interior.
Strawberry Street, is also still there.

As John was baptised and married at Christ Church, Sculcoates..then there is a strong possibility that the children where baptised there but with a surname like Smith and no Christian name...I think you will struggle  :-\
