Hi Alison,
If this is the correct marriage record and there were children prior to this date they would most likely be registered under the mothers name??- there were no births in NSW under FANUCAN up to 1888
SURNAMECOOK
GIVEN NAME(S)WILLIAM
SEXMALE
INDEX YEAR1861
SPOUSE SURNAMEFANUCAN
SPOUSE GIVEN NAME(S)ANN
SPOUSE SEXFEMALE
DENOMINATIONCHURCH OF ENGLAND
PARISHSYDNEY, ST LAWRENCE'S
VOLUME REFERENCEV1861228 37B
REGISTRATION YEAR1861
REGISTRATION NUMBER0
If this is not their marriage record and they were married outside of New South Wales, then there would simply be no birth record for those children in NSW
Another possible reason may be that the births were never registered- this did happen.
Also have you tried search under father's name of George and William??
I hope this is of some help to you
Good luck
Regards
Gordon
