Hicks [b. Oct 1880] family, with wife Ethel M., and children Sterling P., Ross I. [born Dec 1907] and Hazel M. They are in Salisbury parish in Westmorland county. There is a Christopher W. Hicks, age 70 [born Dec 1840] in Salisbury parish, with wife Eliza W. [born June 1842]. In the 1901 census of Salisbury parish [transcription online at same automated genealogy website], there is a Christopher Hicks, b. 5 Dec 1840 with wife Rachel, born 20 Oct 1840. A "Charlie Hicks" born 10 May 1881 appears in Havelock parish, Kings Co, as brother to the head of household Howard Hicks, b. 23 Oct 1869 and Howard's wife Rose [b. 17 Apr 1869]. In the 1891 census transcription of Westmorland county done by Ken Kanner, the Christopher & Rachel Hicks family appears again in Salisbury parish, with Christopher age 57, wife Rachel age 50, and sons Howard, age 21 and Charles age 10. In the 1881 census online at familysearch.org, Christopher & Rachel Hicks are in Salisbury parish, both age 40, with sons: Silas, age 19, Arnold, age 14, Howard, age 12 and Emmerson, age <1, born Oct [1880], age 6/12. In the 1871 census of Westmorland county transcribed & published by Ken Kanner, Christopher & Rachel Hicks are again in Salisbury parish, both age 30, with children: Silas E., age 9, Hartly, age 3, Howard B. age 2 and Maria age 2/12 Feb. In the Late Registration of Births records [online at NB provincial archives], there are two children recorded for parents Charles Noble Hicks & Ethel Melvina Frazee / Frazer. They are: - Sterling Everett Hicks, b. 13 Dec 1902 in Havelock, Kings Co. - Ross Isaac Hicks, b. 23 Feb 1907 in Havelock, Kings. Co. In the same set of records, there is also Hazel Maud Hicks, born 15 Aug 1909 in Salisbury, Westmorland county. Her parents were Charles Hicks & Ethel Frazee. Charles Emerson Hicks married Ethel M. Frazee on 11 March 1902 in Kings County. If you search for "Howard Hicks" on the vital statistics part of the PANB website, you will find that there is a Howard Banford Hicks, born to Christopher Hicks & Rachael Steeves. Howard Hicks also has numerous children in the late registration of birth records, sometimes born in Kings County, sometimes born in Westmorland county. >From all of the above, it seems as though this Hicks family moved back and forth between Salisbury parish in Westmorland county and Havelock in Kings county. I suspect that "Charles Noble Hicks" and "Charles Emerson Hicks" are the same person, but that's only a guess. Good luck!
