Re: the Gladys Ahlin that Gins mentioned on the 1910 census - I think that would be this child:

Gladis Alin, "Massachusetts, Births, 1841-1915"
Name: Gladis Alin
Event Type: Birth
Event Date: 04 Apr 1906
Event Place: Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts
Father's Name:
Mother's Name: Anna Alin

So we still have not got the family in 1910 or 1920?

I did try, but nothing obviously correct.

Nancy, you could always write to this address and see if anyone remembers Gladys Gilbert and knows anything about her:

U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1 about Gladys E Gilbert
Name: Gladys E Gilbert
Birth Date: 11 Sep 1907
Phone Number: 632-7988
Address: 52 Missionary Rd # 104, Cromwell, CT, 06416-2170 (1993)

Seeing as her SSN was issued Mass. it's a fair chance to be her:

U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-Current
Name: Gladys E. Gilbert
Last Residence: 06416 Cromwell, Middlesex, Connecticut
Born: 11 Sep 1907
Died: 21 Feb 2006
State (Year) SSN issued: Massachusetts (Before 1951)

Sister Ester isn't with her sister in 1910:

1910 United States Federal Census

Name: Esther Stenholm
Age in 1910: 23
Birth Year: abt 1887
Birthplace: Sweden
Home in 1910: Brooklyn Ward 24, Kings, New York
Race: White
Gender: Female
Immigration Year: 1906
Relation to Head of House: Servant
Marital Status: Single
Father's Birthplace: Sweden
Mother's Birthplace: Sweden

Household Members:
Name Age
Charles F Bandel 34
Martha M Bandel 35
Alma Olsen 26
Esther Stenholm 23

When Ester returned from Sweden in 1921 she gave Ellen's address as Greenwood City Line, Worcester, Mass.

On Axel's WW1 draft he gives his address as 14 Hillside Street, Worcester, Mass.

On his naturalisation in 1906 he gives address as 173, Vernon Street, Worcester, Mass. That's the address Ester gives on her arrival in 1906 and on her arrival she gives their address as 159½ Vernon Street. So surely they MUST be somewhere in Vernon Street in 1910?

To try to work out where they were in 1920:

U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989
Name: Axel R Sivert
Residence Year: 1919
Street Address: Greenwood near city line
Residence Place: Worcester, Massachusetts
Occupation: Blacksmith
Publication Title: Worcester, Massachusetts, City Directory, 1919

U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989
Name: Axel R Sivert
Residence Year: 1921
Street Address: 20 East Worcester Greenwood near city line
Residence Place: Worcester, Massachusetts
Occupation: Blacksmith
Publication Title: Worcester, Massachusetts, City Directory, 1921

Greenwood should be ward 6, I think. :-)

Gosh U2 have been busy bees.. Wow, well done thanks! its a lot to get my head around so will go thru it again.....I didn't find any siblings for Gladys so that's a bonus... I just wonder what happened to Gladys after her husband William died in 1963, but as you mentioned Marieceleste, perhaps I sould write to the last known address. Thanks U2 your both stars!!

Nancy <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Nancy, just to be clear - the siblings I posted were for Ellen, not Gladys.

I think there has been 'you three'

Never mind!

Aww Gins, am so sorry!! I was rushing to watch X Factor, I should have been a bit more observant, I was skimming thru so quickly...Please please forgive me... Thank you, everyone has been sooo soo helpful...am I forgiven :-( :-(

Just had another look at the posts, it was no wonder I thought it was just the 2 , you share a poppy with Marie which is why I thought it was just the 2...Oh well, I suppose am in the dog house xxxx

Hi Guys

Can anyone find a marriage for Gladys Clave nee Sivert to a Gilbert?? sometime after 1963 when her husband died?? There is a death listed for her in Connecticut 2006 which says she is Gladys E Gilbert? Trying to work out if she really did marry a Gilbert or if her name has been transcribed wrong?

:-S :-S

Hi

I don't think you'll find marriage records online for that period?

Thanks Gins, much appreciate. Its quiet frustrating, her death in 2006 gives her birth as 11 Sept 1907, that's nearly a hundred years old. But I'm not sure its her due to the name Gilbert, and wonder if it should have been Sivert. But having said that, her maiden name was Sivert but married name Clave. I have copied and pasted this from MarieCeleste 26 Oct 17:49 .... State (Year) SSN issued: Massachusetts (Before 1951) what does it mean by before 1951) ?

:-0

Nancy, it means that her Social Security Number was issued before 1951.

William Clave's obit mentions children but they may be from his first marriage -you'll have to trace him back through the census to check.

It will be amongst the cuttings I send when I finish ploughing through some 200 articles (mainly trivia)
