Your relative may not have asked Louise Reece about her children etc but it doesn't look as if he was adverse to asking her age (34 doesn't sound like a guess), which I would have thought might have been almost as intrusive! I think he may have the wrong spelling for her surname though as she doesn't seem to exist anywhere else spelled Reece.
I'm afraid to say he sounds a rather too pedantic person - I'm glad I wasn't there when he moaned and groaned about the form!!
Very interesting though
