Message Board Post:
Hello, and thanks for the response. First of all, let me say that the woman named Letitia
that I mentioned in my original post I now believe to NOT be connected to this situation
in any way.
In the 1870 census, there is a Rachel Cecil who is in her 30s. I now think that Rachel is
a daughter of Solomon Cecil. She has several children in her household, all girls if I
remember correctly off the top of my head. One of those girls is named Alvertine. The
Maude, whose parentage I seek, had a sister named Alvertine Cecil Parker. Maude is
mentioned as a sister in Alvertine's obit. Also, one of Alvertine's descendants
remembers Maude being mentioned. Unfortunately, Maude was born after 1870 so, of course,
she does not appear in that census. Nor can I find her in the 1880 census in which she
should appear. Can't find Rachel either (perhaps she had died by then). And
Alvertine was married by 1880. I DO find a granddaughter of the approximately right age
living with Nelly Cecil in 1880. Nelly was the widow of Solomon. However, the child is
identified only by her initials "M.E." Cecil so I cannot be certain that this is
Maude.
Are you familiar enough with the family of Solomon Cecil to possibly help me sort this all
out? I really, REALLY need help!
