Oh no! Another thread?

Paul - you should really have added this to your previous thread .....

From Census records she appears to have been born in 1897 but she did lie on the Franconia records.

Harry was born Illinois.

Can't find any Pollards in my tree.

How it works is that we have to sometimes go forwards backwards, sidewards and round in circles to get to where we need to be.

We have to build up the picture of who we're looking for.

Sorry just excited at the thought there are so many helpful and knowledgeable people out there.

Do you have any idea who this J Pollard might be?

What's her exact date of birth? - useful for tracing in US Social Security Death Index.
