This appears to be Gertrude's parents. 1920 federal census Harbor Creek Twp.,West District fhl# 1,821,567; Al,Lucile and Deanne Sweet supplied family information on this family. June Sweet Bules, Gladys Nash Sweet and Pearl Fye Sweet also supplied family information on their families. Unable to locate a marriage certificate in Ashtubula County,OH where the children were born. All family members including a sister of Gertrude's said the marriage was in Ashtabula but there is no record. Frances said married three years in the 1910 fed. census so they would have been married before 16 Apr 1907. Have copy of application for annuity for Frances for John's Railroad retirement. She gave the marriage date as 20 Aug 1907 in Kenmore,New York; Question on the middle initial for John on this application. It looked like an M and we have his middle name as Lawrence which seems reasonable as his sister Myrtle named her second son Lawrence.

Also known by family members. Frances Gertrude was always called Fannie by her husband John.

Coakley 10 years of age and born Apr 1890 in Ohio. This date conflicts with family's date of birth. Also conflicts with the birthdate Gertrude gave on the application for her husbnd John's annuity. Need to look up John and Frances Gertrude Sweet in the 1910 and 1920 fed. cens. to see how old she is to try and decide which birthdate to use.
