Thanks Christanel. What makes this one a bit complicated is that it is between census and the children's name and place of birth are different. Thanks for your help.

This census has the names of the children you gave in your first post with the correct first name of the mother and she married a Kennington.
christanel
1891 census RG12 piece 1155 folio 82 page 17
Steeple Claydon Buckinghamshire
Samuel Edwards 24 blacksmith Colfton? Devon
Eliza Edwards 29 Aldsworth Gloucestershire
Frederick Kennington 9 son Sunninghill, Berkshire
Charlie Kennington 4 son Laringdon, Buckinghamshire
Sidney Kennington 2 son Whaddon, Buckinghamshire
Sylvia Kennington 1 dau Crowthoine, Berkshire,
Then James joined the police force in Bucks where the next 2 children were born.
The last child Sylvia's birth was registered in Easthampstead reg dist (which includes Binfield and Crowthorne Berkshire) in 1890 after the death of James in Winslow reg district Bucks Sept 1/4 1889
Crowthorne, Binfield and Wokingham are all within a 10 mile range of Sunninghill.
So do you think there was also a Charles married to an Eliza with the same children's names? Or is it that someone has skipped a generation and James the son of Charles and Eliza also married an Eliza and he is the father of the children? My post #10
The only other Sylvia Kennington birth registrations on FreeBMD were in 1925, 1935, 1948.

Charles Kennington
Baptised 28 Oct 1821
Binfield, Berkshire, England
Father - William Kennington
Mother - Elizabeth Kennington
FHL Film Number 1040395
Reference ID 37
So I think it probable that someone had skipped a generation when researching the children's parentage because both Charles and James had wives named Eliza
