1891 English Census incomplete for family
The 1891 Hammersmith, London, England Census was not completely indexed. there are four more family members on the NEXT page.
Please go to LC3B-JHB - John Robert Gilbert, pull up the 1891 General Registry and please add the other four children. If I knew how to do it, I would not bug you. Thanks!

That not page has been indexed and can be found at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:3TTN-S3Z.
Unlike the US indexed census records found in FamilySearch, the England & Wales ones appear courtesy of Find My Past and are presented according to their unique citation (folio / page reference) rather than for the whole household. I believe if you search these collections from Ancestry and - strange that it might seem - even Find My Past itself, you will see a record for the whole (Gilbert) family.
As there are no connecting images, there would be no way to edit these (FamilySearch) records in any case.
Here is the screenshot of the "second half" of the family in the 1891 census. You will note the Householder Identifier reference (87701) is the same for both records, so (in theory) it should be possible for FamilySearch to display the whole family in one record. However, the current format appears to be the way that Find My Past passes them over to FamilySearch (probably due to some specific contractual arrangement). This leads to us FamilySearch patrons often having problems in locating records in which the two parts of the family are spread over two pages. In this case, I did a search for individuals named GILBERT at Hammersmith in the 1891 census and - in conjunction with the 1901 census record you had attached to John Gilbert - found the indexed page for Alfred, Sarah, Annie and George quite easily.
Unfortunately, "FamilySearch" cannot "add the other four children" (to the other half of the family) any more than you can.

I just found I actually made my search on "Alfred Gilbert" - after seeing he was one of the children listed in the 1901 census.
Here was the Results page I got:
(In case any clarification required, I'll be "offline" for around the next eight hours.)

Don't know if this will help you but I use https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_queries/new?locale=en when searching census records in the u.k. Although it is only indexed it allows you to go along the street by clicking on to next dwelling. Sometimes I have come across relative living on the same street.
Also when tracing people born in England after 1837 i use https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Its easy to set up an account. It won't cost you anything. Click onto order certificates on line set up an account. You do not need to give any personal info. Just an email and username. Once logged in Click onto VIEW GRO INFORMATION which is the fourth line down top right of page. It will then take you to the page for births and deaths. This is worth doing because when you get your ancestor up it tells you where they were registered but also gives their MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME other sites don't do this.
