To all regarding Caroline Fuller
Please assume all information given by Caroline Fuller to any authority as convenient, not necessarily accurate.
In her lifetime she called herself a widow twice over, but almost certainly never married.
In 1886 when living in Cadiz Road, Tower Hamlets she was called to the Old Bailey as a witness to an arson and attempted murder, but gave false information as to her personal circumstances.
You cannot trust the names given by her children as to their fathers on documents because you cannot find 2nd sources for verification of that person.
So, I was originally asking if 'out there' a descendant of either of her partners had information as to who these persons were?

As we have no idea who her "partners" were it would be impossible to answer that question.  Have you checked if anybody has a tree on Ancestry for any of the children?

Are you a descendant of any of her 4 children?  If so - have you had a DNA test?

What names have you got?  You haven't given us names for the two fathers or said which child or children belonged to the second father  ???

If you name them then people can look for you  :)

Marriage for Esther gives her father as William John a labourer - copy online but blurred so not sure what it says after his surname - (dec'd) perhaps. 

Obviously a father did exist - have you looked for a William John?
