Harry Cox and Mary Marjorie McArthur

Was hoping someone could explain if it is possible to find any children born to Harry Cox and Mary McArthur. I have done most of my reseach in Scotland, and I am not really sure what informaiton is available in England. I know that Mary Marjorie Cox was born in 1894 in Westham, Essex. In 1916 she marries Harry Cox in Woolwich, London. I have been unable to find out when her parents died, although she is on her own in 1911. I have searched for her brother Charles Dennis McArthur born around 1896 also in Westham. I think he shows up in the 1911 census away at school. But can't find anything else on him. I would like to find out if Mary and Harry had any children, but do not know where to start. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks for any help.

Thank you. Was wondering if England has something similar to Scotland's People, so I can find out what happened to this family after 1911.
Thanks,
Cathy

Think you can discount the Fulham birth as there was a Cox/McArthur marriage there.

Looks like Charles and both Graces died shortly after birth.
