Parent-Proof notes for Anna Catherine Alexander
There’s a clear record that of her marriage to Andrew J in 1858. But in 1860, the wife of Andrew J was listed as Sarah and they had a 4 year old son Oliver.
Then in 1870, Andrew’s wife was Ann C and 1880 Catherine. In the 1900 Census, Anna C said she had been married 41 years and had 7 children, 6 surviving.
I can account for seven children if I include Oliver and I think it was Thomas who was 4 in 1870 and then not listed in 1880 who had died.
So I can’t explain the fact of Oliver appearing to be born before their marriage nor can I explain why she was Sarah in 1860.
