Note N1190 Index

There is a James R. Kennedy in Kearney in the 1930 US census. He is 18 years old and lives with his mother Mary R. Kennedy who was 46 years old. The other child was a 14 year old Mildred A. Mary was the manager of a coal company. She was born in Scotland of Scottish and English parents. The children's parents were born in New Jersey and Scotland.

Note N1191 Index

In the 1944 city directory for Kearney, etc., he and Agnes are noted as "rem" to Cleveland, Ohio. I have no idea what "rem" means - "removed" perhaps. The same is noted in the 1938 directory.

Here is what I found at the Thompson/Hansen website:
Name: William Vorbach Birth Date: 1903 Gender: Male Race: White Residence City: Lakewood Residence County: Cuyahoga Residence State: Ohio Residence Country: United States Death Date: 18 Dec 1974 Hospital of Death: Lutheran Medical Center City of Death: Cleveland County of Death: Cuyahoga Certificate: 089982 Age at Death: 71 Certifier: Physician Autopsy: Yes, used for certification Marital Status: Widowed Census Tract: 1605

She was apparently born and died on April 14, 1937 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Note N1194 Index

I only became aware of her existence when I saw her listed with her brother Nevin in the 1920 census for Kearney, New Jersey. She is shown as a widow, age 59 years old. She was born in Ireland and immigrated to the US in 1882. She was a naturalised citizen.

In the 1900 census, she is shown as having given birth to 6 children, only 2 of whom then were alive. They were Mabel and Arthur. If that is correct, then the Gabriel Thompson who was in prison in 1900 cannot have been their son but rather someone with the same name, born in the same month as their son Gabriel. See the note under Gabriel which says he died in 1888.

She is a widow by 1910 and is living with her two children in Newark, New Jersey. This time she is shown as having given birth to 7 children, 3 of who were still alive. So perhaps it was her son in prison in 1900?

Notes

Note N1195 Index

His birth was registered by Sarah Kennedy (relationship to child not given). Could she have been the grand-mother, that is Robert's wife?

Helen Dunn says that his death was registered in New Jersy in 1888 and that he was incorrectly shown as female.

Notes

Note N1196 Index

The witnesses were Mary Johnston and Charlotte Smith. Who were they? The presiding officiant was a Robert Johnston so perhaps he supplied the witnesses.

Notes

Note N1198 Index

She was a war bride born in England. I have found her arrival in Canada now too. She came on the same ship Metagama. She is said to be "with husband" as are most of the women listed. She was living at 1314 9th Avenue East in the 1940s. But there remains a question of her actual maiden name; was it White or Dyer?

Notes

Note N1199 Index

The question is how she met Horace Scott since he was living in Warwick, Alberta. But then her family was living in Strathconna East by 1901.

Notes

Note N1200 Index
