No other obvious ones I'm afraid, but if they stayed in same area you could look where the parish records are held, via

Thanks ramblingRose just looked at the deaths on freebmd for yorkshire and even for under 5yrs old there are millions so think this is a non starter :-( was hoping there might have been an easier way.

best wishes Helenx

That's a big gap between 1882/92 I'd start with that 10 year span.

Process of elimination really, if you look at 'Oliver' births on Freebmd during the years they were married and then look at deaths you should be able to work out the likely names,
