There is a 20 year difference in their age which would make one wonder. If William said she was his sister, she probably was. I have seen a 20 year spread in large families a number of times. There is also a possibility of them being half-siblings. The 20 year difference doesn't seem very troublesome to me. Sue Susan M.
