Individual Details

Eleanor "Nora" LYNCH

(30 Jan 1894 - 30 Dec 1991)

For some reason, Eleanor was not listed with her family on the 1900 or 1910 Censuses. She may have been married before the 1910 Census, but the 1900 Census is a bit puzzling. It states that Catherine McNulty Lynch had had five children, all of them still living, but only four were listed. Where was Eleanor? Also, the 1910 Census reports that Catherine had had eight children, all of them still living, but again, only seven were listed. It also seems that the older children's birthdates are too close, but most likely one or more of the dates I have are incorrect. I have not yet been able to check contemporaneous birth records.
