John Charles Molteno, Sir - Odd Children

Sally Ann Orpen repeats her question:
Percy and Hilda could not be John Molteno's children as they were born a few years after his death!
Any comments?

Hmmm -
(Supposed) father dies Sep 1886 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Charles_Molteno

Latest a child of his could have been born - June 1887

A Percy Molteno of about 2 years old dies July 1890 https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-10444-12729874-/percy-ch...

Perhaps the child was 3, not 2?

perhaps Hilda is his older, not younger sister?

We need Sources.

Anybody have Sources for
Percy Charles Molteno
&
Hilda Molteno?

Perhaps the death date for a 2yr old Percy Molteno In England is for another Percy Molteno, and not for the child of Sibella Maria Molteno - (whose other children all appear to be born in SA; & who, herself, dies in SA). If this was the source of the birthdate on geni - simply projecting 2 years backwards from the death date - then we could simply delete it.

The question is whether these two children existed at all. Private User manages - perhaps she has Sources.

"Molteno was married three times and had a total of nineteen children. "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Charles_Molteno
At the moment geni shows 23 children: of which one's name is Unknown; one is a still birth; & 4 die young.

An older half brother is also called Percy: Percy Alport Molteno
