brilliant thank you

I will definitely use the newspaper search system tho my search skills are apalling

i dont seem to choose the right words

No wonder we couldnt find any of them !
His wife had probably already left authur munch ERWIN in 1940 if he.d had 2 or 3 children elsewhere id like to find original so i can see if he was neighbours with the  WINTERS or any of his other children *

There are WINTERS neighbours in the 1930 census, including David WINTERS (born c1873).

Just going by the 1920 and 1930 census, and the obituary for Lemon on findagrave, these are the children of Auther Manch ERVING that I can see (dates approximate):

1911  Dilly
1911  Peter
1913  Lemon
1915  Leola
1917  Jessie
1918  Mary Ann
1919  Adell
1921  Ellis
1932  Lizzie Mae
??       Lunnie

Jessie (1917) is on the 1920 census, but not 1930, and not mentioned in the obituary - presumably she died young.

I would assume that since all the children up to Ellis are with their father in 1930, their mother Esther/Estelle either left or died between 1921 and 1930, Auther Manch does say widowed.

tbanks Sandra thats wonderful

just working my way thru the articles

i think Lunnie is the youngest sister who i had down as Lavinia age 3: with lizzie may WINTERS 4

# no Lunnie is down as an uncle of Willie flannagan ...

Adell s obit proves i had the right niece for Lemons carer ..i hope the relatives on ancestry answer my messages.

yes 1930 says widow so maybe seoarated in 1950 refures to his  wife sula may / mary WINTERS

willie
doed 2002 he  wasnt uncle of lunnie it was vice versa


willie was also survived by 2 other uncles   our Lemon ERVING on grave
& uncle Peter IRVING who.lived to be 102

 & his aunt Mary ERVING  so i suppose she never married .
