Noah Wheatley

[shellyesq]

In case you haven't seen them, I found an obituary and death notice for Noah, an article about his daughter's engagement with a picture of her, and an article about Leopoldine with a picture of her, all in the Oakland Tribune.  If you want me to e-mail any of them to you, just send me your e-mail address in a private message.

You're welcome. The 1930 Census has a question about whether the person is a veteran, and Noah's says no, so looks like he was not in WWI.

Now, that is VERY interesting. Therefore someone has made a mistake ( I will go back and check) or something funny happened!

I made the mistake, by not reading the 1930 Census fully! However, on his registration card, he said he had a crippled right had due to being shot in the war? (the record's on another system, and this is from memory!)

1940-1997 California index for deaths shows (only) Noah Wheatley, born 1 September 1878.

Social Security index for deaths shows two Noah's, one born 1894, the other 1905.

Alameda references the County of Alameda, not the City of Alameda.

Thankyou for clearing up another point - the County of Alameda, not the City.
There are a lot of Wheatley's out there, so these other Noah's could be amongst them.

Thankyou, but I have just found the 1930 Census. Also thankyou for the links. The 1910 Census for San Francisco Assembly District 36, San Francisco, California

It makes me wonder "why" Noah and Herbert were "given away" becoming Barnardos boys when their mother was still alive, then mother and sister went out when Noah had "made good"!
A little bit "cheeky"?

Hello floggle toggle,

The WW1 card did say "crippled right hane due to gun-shot wound" but it does'nt say it was during the war.

So I was right in one respect and jumped to a conclusion in another?
I should not do that, just given myself a "talking to"!
