That was my assumption, ladies especially didn’t want to show a greater age
difference in those days so not too surprised
Thanks for your assertions, they help

Hi Lawrence:
I¹m assuming a divorce/separation from John Henry Voutier as he didn¹t die
until 23 Feb 1939.
Odd that son, Ivan Voutier lists him as married and to a Hattie (?) on the
death record though.
Assuming Hattie didn¹t want to be seen as robbing the cradle with m/2 to
Perley Joseph Sullivan and fibbed about her actual age and switched to
Harriet from Hattie.
