Would she have a child in 1883 by his brother then had more children by Josiah to 1890 ?

So if Josiah has done a runner after the 1881 census when they only had 3 children the I would get the Birth cert of the next child born before 1883 to see who the father is

He may have gone walkabout soon after the 1881 census
