Alexis,
In the 1930 census, the family is living at 240 Malta (looks like Malta)
Street, Seekonk, MA
Joseph C. 27, b. RI, married at age 25, stevedore/steamship company,
parents b. Portugal
wife: Anna 21 b. RI
John C. 60, b. Portugal, widower, stevedore/steamship company, came to US
1895, NA
Louis J. 16, b. RI, parents b. Portugal
Amelia M. 12, b. MA parents b. Portugal
Mary died between 1920 and 1930. Since they are living in Seekonk in 1920
and 1930, you should be able to get her death record and/or obituary from
that arae. Since you say your grandmother died when your mom, Annie?,
Amelia?, was about 4, this should help you pinpoint her death date even
further. First, I would call the local Seekonk cemeteries and see if they
have a Mary Lema who died between 1920/1930 and if they can give you a more
precise date, you could get her death record. I would try the main library
in Seekonk, usually reference dept. to see if they might be able to help
you. You can email them from this site:
http://www.seekonkpl.org/reference.html They usually like to have an exact
date of death, but sometimes you can get a sympathetic person who is
willing to help....remember our libraries are in dire straights these days
so they may be shorthanded. I always make a small donation $10 to the local
libraries for their assistance.
If you would like me to forward the actual 1930 census from the Ancestry
site, I will gladly do so.
Hope this helps.
