It gives her age as 49 making her birth year 1872. I added years of immigration which was 1906 for her and 1919 for her son.

I know, it's all confusing to me too. All I was interested in was Ellen, the common-law wife, but naturally it reverts back to good old gramps. I will leave it at that.
Thank you very much.

Regards

Dolores


the information that Margee posted said that Ellen emigrated in 1909

William in 1900


and the young man in 1919


William was born ca 1869


Ellen allegedly was about 3 years younger than William, so was born ca 1872



Please do read the information carefully

That probably means either that her father died or deserted when she was so young that she never knew his name OR that she was illegitimate.
