Possessive names
So that may not be the best subject name, but it's hard to explain my question in a couple words.
How would you write "Here is the information in your children Paul, Mark, and Jennifer's account". ?
Is that correct?
What about "Here is the information in your child Paul's account."?
Is that also correct? It's the whole placement of the commas and the possessive apostrophe that I'm sort of not sure on.
Thank you so much!!

Surely the person you are giving this information to is aware of their relationship with Paul, Mark, and Jennifer? I speak from experience that giving birth if fairly memorable and you tend to remember the people involved. I would omit "your children" and "your child" entirely from this sentence.

- In the first, with the single apostrophe and the singular "account" it's clear that they all share this account.
