Hi, Susan! Thanks for the additional info. I'm sorry, but have not had very much luck, just doing quick delvings into the US census since this morning. It's probably ground you've covered before, but just in case, here's the bits & pieces.It is a real stretch including some quite unlikely ones, but the possibilities are there since it was very common back then to have multiple given names, use a middle one, then give the "official" one for the government form, etc.{ And let's not EVEN mention data entered incorrectly by the census taker! }
LMK if you want to pass along any clues you think would work out. Good luck in your hunt! -->A.
