I found in the 1900 census that a Joseph Fobert listed as nephew born in May 1877 and a Lillian Fobert listed as niece born in June 1888 were listed as residing with William and Emily. I traced back to the 1894 census and found a Fobert family and William living close in Essexville. I have copies of those pages if you want them. If you send me the name of William's father I can do a manual search of the incomplete death indexes for him. The father's name of the Fobert family in 94 is Joseph.
