Tobias (Probably an incorrect transcription) Lee Whittington is Alfred Frank Whittington's wife. She was born in Pennsylvania. Her occupation is a stenographer.

Thank you both for your help.

The plot in the USA just gets thicker and thicker .I am trying to move forward so eventually I can find living relatives.

I believe Alfred Frank changes his names in 1941 to Allan,so it gets more difficult.

Thank you both again.

It says he's brother to head, but does it really mean to Alice?

Hi

I do not know Alice.

My Nan had two brothers who went to Canada.
Stanley William Whittington b 1884 England m to Elizabeth Maud they stayed in Canada had no children.
Alfred John Everest Whittington bb1882 England m to Daisy Emma they as far as I know only had 3 childern Alfred Frank Whittington b 1909 England Stanley William Whittington b1911 Canada and Gordon Robert Whittington b1916 Canada. They moved to Seattle and then to California.

I have been trying to find info on them for years but it has proven difficult.

Residence Year: 1932

Also at the same address is Stanley W

An earlier one:

Name: Daisy E Whittington

Residence Year: 1929
Street Address: rear 1325 Terry av
Residence Place: Seattle, Washington
Spouse: Alf J Whittington - carpenter
Publication Title: Seattle, Washington, City Directory, 1929

Also at the address is ALLAN (no occupation stated) and Stanley (a seaman)

The 1930 directory is interesting:

Name: Daisy E Whittington
Gender: F (Female)
Residence Year: 1930
Street Address: 6 Lakeview blvd
Residence Place: Seattle, Washington
Spouse: Alfd J Whittington - Carpenter
Publication Title: Seattle, Washington, City Directory, 1930

Same address has Allan F (singer) and Stanley W (pantryman)

What is interesting is that Daisy's 1927 naturalisation gives her address as 1327 Terry Avenue. In 1930 there is a Chas D Whittington (lift operator) living at that address. He must be a relative?

The birth year on this is wrong:

U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1
