We have a problem

[CatOne]

Did she ever marry a Mr Milne either?? Cant' find a marriage 

[avm228]

I see Ivy's birth as Newick, but struggling to find the rest of the children:

Ivy Blanche L Newick Sep 1892 Leicester 8a 242

[Tati]

Same here! 

[avm228]

Very mysterious

Louis' birthdate is given as 3 July 1895 on his death entry:

Louis Wilfred G Newick aged 90, Feb 1986 Leicester Central 6 2406

[avm228]

Frederick Victor Harcourt (? – 1863 - my Grandfather)

Presumably this is a typo for 1963 - but I don't see his death in 1963 or 1964 on the full listings at findmypast

Did he die overseas?

Okay thanks for all your replies

These are the facts as far as we can tell:

1 Wlliam Chidgey Newick (b 1851 - 1903/4) married (1) 12/1872 Jane ? (1851 -  ) both born in Bristol

2 William married (2) Lois Rebecca Duckworth (b Leicester 1872 - 1943?) in Leicester

3 children born Newick with the dates as previously shown (2 are recorded, William and Frederick were given to me by their Niece Kathleen - Fred may have died in 1962 but certainly in Harpenden, Herts where he and his wife lived

4 I have seen a William/Lois marriage record dated 1892 on Ancestry somewhere but can't remember where

What we want to know is:
1 When did Jane die?
2 When did Lois marry William?
3 Who is the mother of the 4 children?

[Tati]

Well, Jane seems to die in 1898 and none of us seem to have found the 1892 marriage you mention 

Who bore the 4 children?

Only the birth certs will tell you ...     

[avm228]

Fred may have died in 1962 but certainly in Harpenden, Herts where he and his wife lived

OK - here's his death

Sep 1962

NEWICK Frederick V.H. 65  St Albans 4b 149

Hiya guys

Welcome to Rootschat sft456

Logically as Jane didnt die till 1898 I'd say she was their mother but as Tati pointed out its a bit late to be having kids at 40+

Heres my bent on it

Lois was married/lived with to someone called Milne and the children are hers from her first marriage/relationship

She then married/lived with William Newick and he brought the children up until his death

Where did the information come from about William being Fredericks father stf345?
