If the dates allow, always consider that both members of a couple may have had a prior marriage that resulted in one or more children.

That could explain why certain children are left out of a parent’s or grandparent’s estate, why it looks like the first child was born before the marriage, or people are marrying individuals who appear to be relatives (but are actually step-siblings).
