it looks to be now that gertrude was not a blake, her mother now shows she was a dury or
drury, so evidently gertrude had her out of wed lock, or as it says adopted dau.? maybe
so, maybe not. gertrude dies, so not mary the mother of gertrude has her.
she's now joan knight, perhaps a married name by now.mary died 1944, gertrude died
1928, making it 17 yrs. after gertrude died, so she was probably 20 or so by 1944, and
i'd say married?
gertrude's parents were: john d. dury and mary m. barwe.
i find a jacqueline m. knight who died 15mo.-1yr.? in 1946, listing her mother as MRS.joan
knight, living with ? mr. & mrs. strumpf, where the baby died.also list a gr. as mrs.
wm. howe. the stumps are deceased, but had a son david whom maybe living and would know
where joan is.the wife of strumps was a sister to mayme blake.and it list no father for
the baby. so she was div. ,he was deceased, or she was unwed.
obis showing her as nart. m. barwe, with m. marked out., more mistakes? still i'm
finding no family member with joan listed, so still assume knight is a married name for
her.
