So there were lots of siblings born in the Brentford reg district where the parents were married. The fact that Kathleen was born in West Ham may or may not be significant, Have you got her birth cert ? Her mum may have been visiting when she had her ,the address on the cert may hold a clue. There seems to be some reason for Kathleen to be fostered out Maybe they just couldnt affford to keep another child and had lined up possible foster parents. I guess you wont ever know unless someone in the family knows the story.

It may be worth getting one of the other childrens birth certs to confirm its the same parents
