can anyone verify the correct dob and dod for this person?

Question

I am getting an error that I likely have wrong dob or dod for burns-10966 based on it not making sense given dob for her listed children. Can someone please help me confirm the correct dates for this profile and children? Thanks.

Answer 1

While 15 is early - but quite possible - for the first child, I'm more dubious of the age of 49 for the last. Unfortunately without a firm DOB it's all speculative.

Answer 2

There is a problem with FaG pic of headstone clearly has her born 1877, which would make her an extremely young mother. The other sources are from trees and I would not put much faith in them.

She is the second wife, so some of the children might be from first marriage.

that is what I think as well I have found source linking them to the first wife. Thanks!

Answer 3

The sources for this family are mainly Find a Grave and family trees, which are not very good, especially when you think there are 2 wives for Francis.  If Mary Jane was 1st wife, they must have divorced since Mary Jane's death is after both Francis and 2nd wife Elmyra, whose name is on his gravestone.

It is possible that the 1st listed wife Mary Jane is not correct, also.

Answer 4

I am in the process of going through Family Search sources.  There are plenty with children births, marriages, mainly naming Myra Burns as mother.  Earliest child, so far, is Harley, b 1892, which would make her 15, IF that is her correct birth year.  We have seen gravestone have incorrect years.

I found a birth, marriage of child with Mary Alread and a marriage to Molly Alread, the same person.  

All of these sources above say Frank, not Francis. I have not found anything yet that has birth year or age for parents.  I have found a few that have F. M. Roll with one of the wives.  Mary Allread has the earlier children.  

Just found a source that has Francis Marion with spouse of Mary E Ross and Maryette Ross.

I will post all the sources that I find to Francis profile Roll-566
