Gaele, welcome to the boards.

There are quite a few records on Ancestry relating to their children but I won't post this in case you already have it. Could you let us know what other info you already have, and what you're trying to find out.

Thank you for this, where did you find this so I can go and have a search for myself.
Caroline didn't have any other children with a different father so they are not related. The Caroline born 9/8/1906 is my husbands grandmother.

Gaele, I got those from Ancestry worldwide.

The Samoan birth is from FamilySearch.
