Do not find a Hariett (with soundex spelling and no last name), born in England c1894, living in New Jersey in 1930. (There is Harriett Finn, but she was single and immigrated 1910.)

Hi Chris: Just going down the list of children from the 1910 census, trying to find them in 1930 and later. At this time, I cannot find the deaths of the parents. Will look for them later.

Lisa

THANK YOU Lisa for all this info, gonna keep me busy for a while, what would i do without you
Chris

You are quite welcome, Chris. I don't know if I will have time to look for the other family you mentioned, on page 1. Perhaps if someone else is reading this thread (Hi Margaret, are you still about?) ;), (or, anyone else) they might be able to help with the other family?

My family should be waking soon, so I will continue as long as I can. :)

Its ok Lisa you have done enough for me im very grateful for all you have done
