Barbara can't be this old and still be Nicholas's mother; her age in 1880 is probably the correct one. Or are the second three children not hers? They are out of order. Are they her orphaned nieces and nephew?

Straub Nick W M 21 / Laborer France France France

Bollquet Mike W M 3 / Missouri Prussia France

These two are the only references to surname BOLLQUET in any database, so it must be a gross misspelling of some other surname.

"+ Means we added information from the St. Mary’s Church burial records and translated the given names from Latin.
An + after the person’s name means the whole line came from the church records."

U STRAUB, Nicholas + 19 Nov 1871 +Son of Barbara Straub, p. 342

How can the date possibly be correct? Nicholas is alive and living with his mother in the 1880 census.
