They could have already had some children before getting married and changed the number of years married to fit (although it doesn't quite fit the oldest child)

Gladys May has mothers name Freeman

I do think the Turner registration is more likely but where was she in 1901  :-\

As winifred was registered in Eastbourne, I would have assumed they could be found on the 1901 census.  These are some of the birth registrations which I know are correct.

Thanks for this, this is what I had initially but because of Francis Emily Turner marrying a Frank Francis French, its thrown me and also the lack of records for both these people. I cant find any census's apart from 1911 for emily and frank.  The marriage record states 1906 they were married but the children were born some of them before then.  Also the 1911 census states they were married 12yrs but only married for 6 if married in 1906

Interestingly the children were born before they were married if the marriage registration for
Frank Francis French and Frances Emily Turner is correct. 

As winifred was registered in Eastbourne, I would have assumed they could be found on the 1901 census.  These are some of the birth registrations which I know are correct.

Frank married as Frank Francis French but his death reg'd as Francis Frank French - from only census you've found him on (1911) his birthplace given as Brighton and  aged at death 69 in Mar.qtr.1927 indicates a birth in 1857/8.

I do not believe that he is the Frank born Lewes 1858, illeg. son of Ann.

I believe 'your' man is the Francis French bp.12/7/1857 Brighton, son of Henry and Mary (birth regn. gives mmn as Weller).    On 1861 census he is listed as Francis, in 1871 with married sister 'Bett' (birth reg'd as Betsy, 1861 census as Elizabeth and married as Bet) and her husband Richard Goldsmith (married 1870) in Eastbourne as Frank and both census give birthplace as Brighton as in 1911. 

Henry French died in 1864 Brighton and by 1871 his widow Mary is a housekeeper to a Benjamin Goldsmith in Eastbourne.   Their youngest child - Henry T. bc.1860 - on 1861 census would appear to be an illeg. grandson rather than son (born as Thomas Henry Dec.1859).   In 1871 is with his now married mother 'Nancy' and her husband James Packham (married Jun.1861 Brighton, her full name being Ann Elizabeth French).   By 1881 this young man is back to being Henry again and is in Eastbourne with a Harry Goldsmith.

Be he Francis or Frank I cannot find him in 1881, 1891 or 1901.  Certainly, 1861 and 1871 agree with 1911 that he was born in Brighton (not Lewes).

Frank's wife married as Frances Emily Turner and in 1911, as you already know, she is 'Emily' bc.1872 Selmeston, Sussex.  There were only 2 Turner families in Selmeston at the relevant time and I believe that she was reg'd as Fanny Turner in Jun.1873 Lewes, mmn Guy.  Parents being Henry Turner and Phebe Guy married Dec.1862 Lewes.  Phebe shown 66 in 1881 which is an error - think it was supposed to be 46 - various census and death entry (1890) suggest born mid 1830's in Chiddingly.

However, whilst I believe the above is correct you really need to get details of the 1906 marriage of Frank to confirm their respective fathers names.
