bullet  General Notes:

If Ethel May was born in 1874, then where was she on the 1880 census when she would have been about 6 years old? She could be the same person as Sarah Chapman who was shown on the 1880 census with the family and with a birth year of about 1876.

On the marriage license for Ethel May Chapman, she indicated that her birth date was in 1876 which matches the birth year for Sarah. Perhaps "Sarah" was a nickname her parents used in 1880.

On the 1900 census, she gave her birthdate as May 1878.
