• Notes

  She married King William FOWLER 1/3/1911. One of the witnesses was Emma, presumably her mother. According to the army documents for her husband, their daughter Emily Kathleen was born 16/5/1911. Sarah Christina was born 5/12/1913. She also had an illigitimate son Nathan Henry WEBB (b 20/11/1903). He also has a daughter (Frances Sarah) from a previous relationship (maybe JOSEPH???) To further confuse matters, her husband appears to have changed his surname to WILLS (and drops the name "King"). This is what he uses in 1911 Census. At the 1921 Census, the surname is WILLS, and Sarah is not there, but Emily (birth around Dec 1912) is there. If Emily Kathleen had died, or maybe gone with her mother, then maybe Sarah took on that name. The age given form Emma is incorrect, so the ages of the children may be wrong too. There is no obvious record in the 1939 Register
