Christopher was born in 13 June, 1962, so there is a mistake there. So what is the truth about the mother-in-law? Does M stand for Mrs or is it a miss-copy? Did people lie, did Eva or William just guess for the enumerator or did someone just copy it down wrong? Andrea Kay, living descendant, said Christopher went out to California for a while...maybe he was on his way out. He was in Saint John by 1919.
