=========================
Now to sort out which belong to the G. S. Lamb family.G. S. Lamb is apparently my grandfather's brother, Sherman Lamb.From what you've said, the five-year-old Edna and the one-year-old Alma would be two of the children.Which was the son?He kept the name Lamb?He had twin sons named Lamb?
You said that Sherman Lamb died when Matilda was expecting your grandmother Hazel Lamb, who was born in September 1903.The math indicates that Sherman was alive in late December 1902 when Hazel was conceived.(That is, if she was a nine-month baby.)But he was dead by September 1903.
That could be why I couldn't find him in the 1910 census, but where was Matilda and the kids in 1910?
This is very significant.We previously presumed that Sherman died about 1919 in the Flu epidemic.My dad says he and his father went to check on the family.But dad was born in 1904.Sherman was already dead.Perhaps dad and grandfather went to check on Sherman's family as he said, but it was not the occasion of his death.
I recall hearing the name "Swifton Will" Lamb.He could be the seven-year-old William A. Lamb above.
This looks like Matilda's daughter Ethel in the 1910 census.So Matilda had been married to a Breckenridge?
What was Matilda's maiden name?
