Hi Celia Just a quick observation for you to consider. My Uncle Albert b 1898 then Aunt Rose b1899 then Annie (mum) b1901 and 13 years later Aunt Jessie was b 1913. No one can guess the reason for the big gap and they have all passed on now. Lifes funny like that I always work with the parents ages in front of me too, it helps. See ya.
