• Notes

  Laura's marriage record in 1908 gives her birth year as 1888, making her 20 at the time of her marriage. However census records contradict this data. In the 1900 census she is shown residing with her father and step-mother and was only 8 years old at the time and her birth date is given us Feb 1892, making her actually 16 when she married. In the 1910 census she is shown as 18 and in 1920 she is 28. Thus it would appear that she was only 16 when she married the then 33 year old Robert Brown, and that she lied about her age.
