And surely they must have, with Ruby living between the two Jones homes, unless one or the other of them moved elsewhere soon after the census. Apple's right, it'll be so interesting to see the 1940 census!TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556045553534725632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-90880184138159378662010-09-03T12:07:35.165-06:002010-09-03T12:07:35.165-06:00What a great job of interpreting a census.

Re-write everything I thought I knew about that relationship between my mother and step-mother. I've made a lot of great discoveries in my research, but this was the real "mind-blower". I could hardly believe my eyes. And it's a lesson in examining the other names on a census page! That's where the stories are.Becky Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841947942442007031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-44660861046512660582010-09-01T20:10:39.561-06:002010-09-01T20:10:39.561-06:00This certainly is a mind-blowing discovery.

He never knew they were neighbors, nor that they knew each other. He wondered if my mother Ruby remembered my step-mom Phyllis when she learned that he was marrying her in 1951. Neither of them let on that they'd known each other from childhood. I just think they had to have known each other. They're both gone so I can't ask them.Becky Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841947942442007031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-70458295691792415462010-09-01T16:34:31.949-06:002010-09-01T16:34:31.949-06:00It sure looks like they would have known each othe...It sure looks like they would have known each other as children.

There may in fact be much more to the dislike of your mother than you have been told. It may stem from their childhood - their teenage years - who knows! <br /><br />It's wonderful that you found this census, every piece of information helps build a more complete picture.<br /><br />LorineOlive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-53855764576859511642010-09-01T11:10:22.148-06:002010-09-01T11:10:22.148-06:00Becky, I tend to agree with you.
