Greetings:
I am attempting to help Ralph Norman who is 90 years old (God bless him) find
out any information on his family. If any of the below looks familiar to you
or you can help please let me know.
Regards, Deborah
Toledo, Ohio
Ralph and Drew,
This is what I have found so far on Ralph's family, digging through U.S.
census records. I believe that Ralph's mothers maiden name was "Cain" and
found a
little on them also. Do I know that all this information is his family for a
FACT, no I do not, that will be up to Ralph to decide and verify.
January 22-23, 1920 census record
Truro Township, Williamsfield Village, Knox County, Illinois
Enumeration District No. 191 Sheet No. 11A
Series: T625 Roll: 381 Page: 45
Line 2 256 265
Elvie L. Norman, head, male white, married, age 31, born in Illinois, father
born in Sweden, mother born in Illinois, occupation of father-printer, in
printing office, working for a wage
Ollie A. Norman, wife, female white, married, age 31, born in Illinois,
father born in Illinois, mother born in Ohio
Ralph C. Norman, son, male white, single, 4 and 1/2 years old, born in
Illinois, father born in Illinois, mother born in Illinois
They own their own home, mortgage free. Both parents are able to read and
write, both speak english.
I was unable to locate Elvie for the 1900 or 1910 census years. I did check
the 1910 census page by page in Truro and Victoria Townships, either not
living
there at that time or they were just missed for the census?
I believe the following information is Ollie (Cain) Norman while still living
at home with her parents.
