Three sources for knowing the names of Chaim and Cyril's children:

1. The Yizkor list for Lubaczow have these names listed:

STEINER Chaim, Zirel, Shlomo, Sara, Sinai,Hindel, Min'che, Shmuel and family.

2. Shlomo Helsinger remembered these children when I talked to him in April 1997:

Leib - he moved abroad, said Shlomo.

Shlomo 

Sina

Min'cha ( daughter)

Chiel  - he survived, Shlomo said

Samuel - he was the youngest, Shlomo said.

3. Pages of Testimony

Children of  Chaim STEINER and Cyril STEINER nee GROHMAN, according to Pages of Testimony:

1. Salomon  (Shlomo) STEINER born around 1905, married to Sara Falk. 
                  Son Chaim STEINER born 1935.
                  Page of Testimony submitted by relative.
                  Information from Bogdan Lisze.
2. Sina/ Sinai STEINER, born ca 1908, married to Hindel/Hendel. Children.
                  Page of Testimony submitted by relative.

We now know that Chaim STEINER  died on Jan  31st 1921. We then understand  that Cyril STEINER was a widow from the year 1921, with five or six young children. She herself died Pessach 1939. In other words, both Chaim and Cyril STEINER died before the Second World War broke out.

I already mentioned that the whole family are mentioned on the YIZKOR list made in the early 1950's in Israel.

In addition, both  Chaim and Cyril Steiner are listed by community member Mr. Lerer on Pages of Testimony submitted to Yad Vashem.

My theory for this:

I am more and more convinced that the YIZKOR list made in Tel Aviv included both Holocaust victims, but also those close family members who had died a natural death before the war. 

That is my theory.
