I can get the exact dates at home but as far as I remember, there were
two daughters and a son (I'm not sure about the son).
Cathryn and the two daughters died in England very close to one another,
obviously of some illness like plague. If there was a son, though, I'm
not sure what happened to him. He would definitely have died young
though, because there was no subsequent mention of him.
