Chris, I have found that Adi Elenoa had the other name Mila from the historian Deryck Scarr, who has written extensively on Fiji. He notes in his biography of one of the colonial governors that the mother of Ratu Josefa Lalabalavu, Tui Cakau was Adi Elenoa Mila, and through her was vasu to the house of Bau. I had only guessed that she might have used the surname Cakobau. My aunt says our ancestor's name was Adi Eleanor Milo Bau. Adi Elenoa married several times, including the Tui Suva. From what I understand, Ratu Aporosa, Roko Tui Suva was another of her sons.
