The 1911 census confirms there were just two children from the marriage.
In the 1901 and 1911 censuses Joseph was not with his family, and Constant was shown as the head, but she was shown as married rather than a widow. In 1921 she was shown as a widow. Was she really aware she had died, or just guessing?
