Rice Family in Worth East Grinstead area

I am searching for any decendants of Charles Rice and Mary Dancy. I know they had a Son Charles born in 1860 and 4 daughter Lucy who married a Thomas Kent and they had at least 3 daughter and Maria who married a Thomas Lines and had 4 children Florence , Millecent, Robert Charles and Lorna Harding Lines. Charles and Mary's fourth daughter was Lousia Ellen who married a Luke Killick and they had 4 children Lousia Ellen, Ethel, Lawrence Archabald Paul, and Gwendoline Agnes. Their 5th child was Chatherine Eliza and I know nothing of her. I am interested in finding anything out about any of these family members but would like to know what happened to Lorna Harding Lines. She is with Maria Lines in the 1901 Census and is 5 months old but we have no idea what happened to her after that. I know that Maria came to Canada in 1902 or 1903 and later brought Florence and Robert to Canada but no one knows anything about Lorna. Any help would be wonderful. I suspect that the father of Lorna may have had the surname Hasting.
