Elizabeth S c1844 Malta, Tailoress
Jane E c1847 Malta, Employed in Arsenal
David D c1850 Malta
Susannah c1854 Woolwich
George J c1858 Woolwich

Perhaps the birth certificates of Susannah and George would help.

Susannah Wilson Weir born Dec 1853 Greenwich Volume 1d page 555.

George John Weir born Sept 1857 Greenwich Volume 1d page 559.
