There were four children found by a search on FindMypast, though this brought in James in 1902 and lost Fanny in 1899 and Livina in 1901

That indeed adds up to 6 but where was James in 1911? There is no death record for him.
This is a bit more difficult to find as there were three births of James Lewis in Wolstanton between 1901 and 1903, with mothers of Baggley, Rowe and Boulton.
