Default where did they go after 1891

I am trying to find out what happened to Edward George and Frederick Lewin Leney after 1891. What I have is
Father Edward Leney (b 1863 West Hoathly, Sussex), mother Mary Ann Francis (b 1860 Fletching, Sussex) married in 1887.
Children – Clara b 1888 (I have all the information for her), Edward George (b 1889 Danehill, Sussex) and Frederick Lewin (b 1890 Danehill, Sussex). Mary Ann died in Nov 1890.
In 1891 Edward George and Frederick Lewin are with their father Edward and aunt Harriet in Fletching, Sussex
Edward remarries in 1894 and is with his second wife and their children in 1901 and 1911.
Edward has filled in the 1911 census for himself with – married 23yrs (length of time from his first marriage); 10 chdn born (total from both marriages); 7 still alive (1 from first marriage and 6 from second); 3 died (1 from second marriage and presumably 2 from first). However I have not been able to find a death registration for either Edward G or Frederick L.
Is anyone able to find what happened to these two please
Thank you

Nearest I can see so far is a George Leeney or Leeny who died Jan-Mar 1894 Lewisham district age 5. Probably not him but I thought I would post it so people don't go over the same ground again.

Now that I've had a look at the 1911 census, Ellen is shown as having had 9 children, 6 living and 3 deceased, so maybe the 3 doesn't include Edward George and Frederick Lewin and they were still alive in 1911?

Thank you for looking. I did wonder about that but there are no extra birth/death registrations for either Wood (prior to 1894) or Leney in the area they were living.
I have also looked at the extended families on both sides (Francis and Leney) - there were no additional Edwards or Fredericks.
As they disappear completely after 1891, maybe I should be considering that they might have been fostered/adopted and therefore going under entirely new names.

They might have been fostered/adopted or they might have been sent to Canada (or Australia) as a lot of orphans were in that period.
