Eslin family of Washington, DC

Surnames: Eslin, Wells
I am looking for information about Irene Eslin, who was born in Washington DC in 1910. Her parents were Bernard Anton Eslin and Nellie Bowman. I understand she married a Robert Wells of Winchester, VA and they had three children, Richard, Frances and Betty. They divorced before 1930. I found her back in her parents' home in the 1930 census, but the three children were reportedly left on a church doorstep. I found them in other homes listed as "boarders."

I would like to know what happened to Irene after the divorce. Why were the children sent to live with others rather than family? Can anyone tell me anything about her mother, Nellie Bowman? What ever happened to Robert Wells? I can't find any record of his birth or family.

HELP!!!
