The coordinates for the children are:

Gilneas (27.91, 66.54) Rescue Ashley here.
Gilneas (29.56, 69.34) Rescue Cynthia here.

What to do
Description
The military will not allow me outside the cellar, but my children are still in my farm! Please, you must go find them. The Forsaken have no regard for innocent life -- my kids are in great danger! Their names are Cynthia, Ashley and James. If you find them, bring them back here. I'll be forever in your debt.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unleash the Beast
I'm not going to lie, <name>. I don't like the idea of having worgen among our ranks. Who knows how long 'til Krennan's concoction wears off and you're trying to chomp one of our heads off. Until that time, however, we can make ample use of your ferocity.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Two By Sea
The Forsaken catapults are kicking the snot out of us, <name>. And even if we do take care of them, they've two ships with rows of cannons at the ready. I've a plan to kill two birds with one stone. You're the stone in this plan. Take out the machinists manning the catapults.
