Children
Most of the information on children was added by user:loveActresses back in 2010. In the last 7 years no citations have been added to support that information. So I am moving it to this page and leaving the family with the information contained in the DNB. If someone can find reliable sources to back up the text I am removing then please reinstate it with citing the reliable sources

Query (under Literary Works section)
