Bruce,
I don't what you have for them on census records. Thus far, I found them on the 1920 census living a 92 Norman Street, Fall River. John Tavares 49 came to US 1897, b Portugal, parents b. Portugal Fireman/Bleachery, Wife, Mary 36 b. Bermuda parents b. Portugal, Mary 17, Minnie 15, Manuel 13, Annie 11, Alfred 8, John 2 all b. MA. Joao Pedro Tavares and Maria Izabel Pereira were married in 1899 in Fall River record 488/199. If you do not have this record, someone on the list can provide it, I believe, or I can get it from a friend. Let me know if you have/want this or not. As suspected there are several Joao Tavares on ship's manifest. Also, ca 1897 sometimes there is not too much info on the manifest but I will keep working on this. Let me know if you any/all census records..1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 are the US ones available. Like you, my siblings and I were very troubled when we found out our brother and sister only had a marker on their graves and we purchased proper gravestones with cherished sister and loving brother and their names inscribed on them so I can relate to how you felt. We even had to pay the back burial costs, as my parents apparently could not afford to bury my brother at the time (1920's), before they let us put the stone in. This was ca 2004.
