Reed/Chadbourne - Looking for my dad's long lost half sister
Posted by: Rebecca Warriner (ID *****5518) Date: June 16, 2007 at 12:55:34

I am looking for Alice Chadbourne. This is what I know (brief overview at bottom, longer story first):

James Chadbourne married Beatrice L. Reed (could also be known by her middle name - so, first name could be Lottie or Leta or Loretta or something like that) before 1910 in Maine.

They had a daughter - Alice - who was born probably sometime between 1906 - 1908. Perhaps in Livermore, ME. The 1910 East Livermore census showed James Chadbourne, Beatrice L. Chadbourne (age 25), and daughter age 4. The daughter's name was difficult to read, but looked like Pearle. A later census indicates that this could be Alice's middle name.

The 1920 census in Canton, ME shows Alice P. Chadbourne living with Mary E. Reed (grandmother). I can not find a record for Alice after this date.

I know Beatrice and James were divorced - I believe before he left and fought in WWI.

A 1930 census in Canton shows Mary E. Reed living with a Lottie or Leta B. Blovelan or Bloseland, age 45. This leads me to believe that Beatrice remarried.

So - overall:

Beatrice L. Reed - born around 1885, could also be Lottie, Leta, or Loretta. Married James Chadbourne. Divorced. Married again Bloveland or Bloseland. Last record found in Canton, ME in 1930.

Alice Chadbourne - born around 1906, could also be known by middle name (Pearle). Last seen living with grandmother, Mary Reed, in 1920 in Canton, ME.

Mary E. Reed - grandmother, last seen living in Canton, ME in 1930. Believe she was born around 1861.

Any information or leads on Beatrice, Alice, or Mary is greatly appreciated. My goal is to find out what happened to Alice (my dad's long lost half sister).

You can reach me at rwarr@hotmail.com.

Thank you!!
