Thank you for your help everyone.
Yes, I had that census record.
Margaret & ArgyllGran
Yes, her sister Nancy adopted them, that's how I know the girls' names as I have a photo of Jane & Nancy's girls with names and ages after the adoption.
My Grandmother & mother were the correspondents, but as they & their generation is America died out, contact was lost. Jane's elder daughter even went on to work for American Airlines despite her parents death on one of their planes.
Very grateful to you all.

It says the girls were adopted by a maternal aunt after their parents' deaths. Another of your cousins, Inez?

I'm wondering how you know her daughters' christian names but not their surnames i.e. Jane V.'s married name.

Hello. I am struggling to find the American records I need.
I know my cousin's name & her 2 daughter's Christian names, but not her husband's name and can't find a marriage record including her name.
Her name was Jane V Parry and she was born in 1934. Presuming she got married about 1955 as first child was born in 1957. She and her husband were killed when the children were young.
Thank you.
