Wondering if I've found the correct Albert Lafayette Jones in 1910?...Born 7-Dec-1884 in Alabama. Found on 1930, 1920 census in Memphis, Tennessee (& WWI card) with wife Martha...Wondering if this Albert is the one living with Bernsteins in 1910 in Memphis? Would love to find his information prior to 1920. Thank you. |

Hi Rose. Thank you for your help. That is the only 'match' I can find, but since he had a common name, I'm hesitant to say it's him. His address is close to where he lived in 1920, but it's still not proof. However, let's say it is him. I believe I can't go any further as I don't know other relative's names. :( Any suggestions most welcomed. But, thank you for your help so far. :) |

I supposed he could be the one. In 1910 he's a meat cutter, 1920 a retail grocer clerk, 1930 a retail grocers salesman. Looks like he was moving up through the trade. Rose |

I wasn't too sure if a meat cutter and retail clerk were on different 'levels' - perhaps you are correct, it certainly does seem logical. I wish I could find his family as he's my hubby relative. |

Do you have him in 1900? I don't see any obvious matches. Rose |

No, Rose, I don't. And because there's no census for 1890, I'm stuck. I don't know anything about the family, so can't even look for parents' names in 1910. I know that the name 'Lafayette' was handed down to his son, and Albert was handed down three generations or more, but that's all I know. His daughter Martha died decades ago, so there's no way to trace the family on her side. PS 'We' don't know anything about the family. |

Rose: Are you still there? I've just tried a search, not using a surname - do you think this could be the family? 1900 United States Federal Census about Albert L Pomes Name: Albert L Pomes Home in 1900: Montgomery Ward 3, Montgomery, Alabama Age: 15 Estimated birth year: abt 1885 Birthplace: Alabama Relationship to head-of-house: Son Father's name: William L Mother's name: Lula L Race: White Household Members: Name Age William L Pomes 40 Lula L Pomes 32 Albert L Pomes 15 Kattie M Pomes 11 Fannie M Pomes 9 Bebb Gay Pomes 3 Steve R Pomes 7.12 I'm checking to see if there is a Pomes family in 1910 |

Did you see the father's occupation? Butcher :))))) Without your help, I wouldn't have looked for just Albert L. (no surname.) I've searched for him over and over again!!! Thank you so much! Now trying to track down the family. I can't wait to tell my hubby!!!! (Of course, he'll just reply 'oh, that's good.' ;) |
