According to the census, Joseph (b.mar 1881) and Isabell b.Jan 1881 travelled out to Canada in 1907. Son William was born in Apr 1899 in England
According to Adeline's birth in 1910, her mother was Isabel Newman. Her parents were married in 1898 in England. However Joseph was only 15 in 1898, and in 1901 was still single, living with parents. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=2421131
In 1915 William Fricker is in the Canadian army, and lists his NOK as his mother Isabel Fricker. His place of birth is Southampton, and his dob is April 17 1897. http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.c....asp?ID=105891
Now I noticed in the 1901 census for Joseph, http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=1133635 next door to Joseph was Walter Newman, the 22 year old son in law of the head of house. Walter has a sister, Isabella, but she was born in 1873. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...c=&pid=6896018
So my (eventual) question is, do you think it possible that Isabella lied about her age, and they both lied about the date of the marriage and Williams age on the 1911 census. Can anyone find anything to support this theory or anything that disproves it. I did find a birth for a William Henry Newman in Sep 1897 in Southampton, who could have become William Fricker. I can't find anything else for this family that gives any more info.
