Judi and Nancy and Elly, Thank you for the lookups. Judi, looks like you have found their marriage record as their first child of record was born in 1896- in 1900 census, they had 3 children born and 2 living so it is possible a first child was born before 1896. Thank you so much. Did you find this on Ancestry? Did it happen to list where they were living? I know my own grandfather lived in NB married in Fall River. I still haven't figured out why. Does anyone else have an answer to this?
Here are the rest of the children, born before 1910, (I think this is what NEHGS goes to) from census record info: George Mello b. abt. 1905 Adelina (Lola) Mello b. abt. 1908 Marie Mello b. 1909 In 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 censuses, the family of Manuel Duarte deMello always lived in Fairhaven. In the 1900 and 1910 census, he used the surname Duarte, 1920 they started using Mello. Manuel Sr. must have died between the 1920/1930 censuses as in 1930, his wife, Francesca Mello is listed as a widow. I am surprised the sons Manuel Duarte Mello Jr. b. 7/20/1898 and Antone b. Jun 9, 1896 are not listed but I know in those days some births were not recorded or recorded 2 or 3 years later. Thank you, too, Elly. NEHGS is a New England Genealogy subscription program which lists birth, death, marriages to 1910, I believe they are in the process of updating it to 1915. Again, thank you all so much for your help on this. "E" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
