Both are a bit too early for the 19th century as they are Colonial and French
and Indian War suppliers. You could get generic long trousers from them but the
women's clothing is really too early for the time period.

Like someone else suggested before, I'd ask for volunteers to sew and have them
make the clothes with extra reenforcements so that they last. Sure they won't
be 100% period but these are for kids and for museum work. You want them to
last as long as possible and the public won't notice that there is extra
hem-binding on the seams.
