The version of VV1 you're playing should not matter. There could be several reasons for villagers not producing children. You can get some clues by watching for messages when you attempt to make a baby villager. Villagers won't produce children if there is not enough housing, for example. Your population is limited to 7 villagers until the first new hut is completed.
Also, if you don't have at least 400 food in the granary, they will be very reluctant to increase the population.
