I think you'll find Caroline's baptism here: First German Presbyterian Church Rivington Street. I no longer have the film on loan, so can't do a look up for you. You can rent the film from the FHL. It'll be in German, It will almost certainly give the town of birth of both parents. Good luck! PS Hanau is also a city. You may not get down to the Parish, but if you have the town/city, then it's not too hard.
