I am looking for William E. BARRETT (William Edmund?) who was a frequent guest in the home of my mother in Scarsdale NY abt 1915-1930? including several Christmases.
My mother's father was Joseph A. FORD (1872-1951)b Chicago, d Scarsdale NY.Joseph's wife Julie (1878-1969)frequently travelled to Brattleboro VT to visit relatives, but I don't know who they were. She was b Rochester NY, d Scarsdale NY.
I have a photo "Mrs. W.E. Barrett" taken in Boston 1909, and this person was called "Auntie Barrett" by my mother (1907-1967) and her sisters.She may have had maiden name FORD, COLE, LEONARD, MOORE, FOY but I think the connection to FORD is most likely.If I can identify William E. BARRETT, that will be a start.If he was the same age as my grandparents, he would have been b abt 1875.
The FORD & FOY families came from Co Mayo, Ireland, some in the 1830's to IL, some to PA abt 1850.Auntie Barrett is mentioned often in my mother's diary.
