Sreve, When did Mildred Rose arrive?? Was she on the same ship as Charles?? Elizabeth could be Mildred & they've misheard the name due to accents etc. Charles could've fallen in love with an already pregnant Mildred/Elizabeth & claimed the baby as his own. If the second baby was named Charles too then the first must've died. Is there a death for him?? Did Charles & Mildred marry?? We may never know for sure what happened. Cheers.
