Found Another One!

I found another one of my dead ends!

 As I have said before, my 4x grandfather and his family was a nightmare to find and piece together; kids just sitting there, knowing they were born but that's it.  

~ But, I found one their grandchildren~ 

Maud ‘Edith’ King was born in Jun 1883 at Winnipeg, Manitoba to Harriet Amelia ‘Millie’ Vincent & James King - Millie was there with her husband where her brother RD lived.  Millie & James moved around a lot where he worked for the railroad but their first three children were born in Canada.

Between 1900 - 1910, Maud and her family were living in Connecticut.  During this time, her future husband was making his way over from Scotland.

Lawrence Fargie Soutter who was born in Greenock to Hercules Doig Soutter & Catherine Jane Wilson arriving in Montreal in 1907 on board the Corinthian.

 Although it indicated he was a grocer, the censuses & draft cards shows he was a carpenter turned farmer by 1940 which will make sense once I fill in the rest of the story.

As mentioned, Maud was with her parents in Connecticut up until 1910, and by 1915, she and Lawrence are married, have a new born son and are living in Hudson, New York [son listed as daughter Florence but it's Lawrence Jr]

  By 1918, the family had relocated to Delaware Co, Pennsylvania

They lost a baby girl Ruth to Spina Bifida in 1919 and it's the first conclusive evidence that I have the right Maud

Ancestry - Pennsylvania Death Certificates, 1906-1964

The 2nd bit of information that suggests I have the right Maud is the lovely names she gave her 2 surviving children - Lawrence KING Soutter and Allyn VINCENT Soutter - she loved her parents is all I can conclude!

Lawrence died in 1954 - I think he died in Longmeadow, MA based on the directories I found for them between 1953 & 1955 and Allyn's obit below but he could have died in NY.  He is buried in North Carolina at the Mount Hope Cemetery - the same cemetery as Maud's mother - making it possible that they are all there.  

Maud died in 1973 at Glens Falls, NY and the SSN information found on Ancestry cinched the deal for me

I don't know if Lawrence Jr ever married but he died in 1991 - I am thinking he died at Longmeadow, MA based on his Vet Benefit App and the information from Allyn's obit below.

Clifford's Cliff

Clifford 'Red' Vincent 1933 - 21yrs old

 A while ago I wrote about James Vincent & Nora O'Brien and one of their children was Clifford 'Red' Vincent.  

Red married Arline Frances Rogers and they had 2 children - Clifford Jr & James Francis.

Clifford Jr was born at Melrose, MA in 1939 and from the pic below, I think he looks a lot like his father, no?  Wonder if he had red hair too?
