The only Theresa O'Connell I'm seeing in VT was born c1895.The age of 29 from the 1930 IL census disagrees, but sometimes ages on census records are way off.I wouldn't expect the 1930 age to be absolutely correct if I were you.Whoever gave the info that year could have been guessing at her age.
1900 St Albans, Franklin Co, VT has this family:
John O'Connell 37 b.VT,Ire,Ire marr 9yrs express messenger
Sarah J. O'Connell 40 VT,Ire,Ire
Mary E. 8 b.VT
John N. 5yrs 11mos b.VT
Terrissa 5yrs 2mos b.VT
1910 St Albans VT
John F. O'Connell 46 VT,Ire,Ire marr 19yrs manager/express Co
Sarah J. 47 Vt,Ire,Ire3children/2living
John N. 16 b.VT
Teresa E 15 b.VT
Teresa 76, widow, mother
The 1900 census says the son John N. was born cJune 1894, but there is a WWII draft card for a John Norman O'Connell of St Albans that says he was born 19 March 1894
I can't find this family on the 1920 census yet, but I do see a "Tressie" O'Connell on the 1920 census of Chicago/ward 7 who is listed as age 23 born VT,VT,VT
Still checking around and I will post here if I find something more.(or you can email me at home- get my email address by clicking on my name)I would email you but I think you have your email address blocked on this site
