The 1881 census has Caroline Datlen living as a boarder in "Paragon",Streatham, Surrey. Her occupation was a school governess the same asher older sister Emma who worked in Russia. There are two childrenliving with Caroline, Alin Datlen aged 7, and Maud Datlen aged 8, bothwere born in St Clement Danes, Middlesex, England. I have no record ofthem in the Datlen Register of Births and I am sure these childrenmust be adopted orphans.

The 1891 census has Caroline Datlen as a visitor of the residence ofWilliam Thomas, the same head of household as in the 1881 census abovebut who was now living at "The Knoll", Kings Road, in Clapham, London. Maud and Alan are now both listed as the son and daughter of Williamwith the surname of Thomas. I suspect that the 1881 census shows theincorrect surname for them.
