Married Floyd Allen STEWART

Notes

  • I have listed the wife of Floyd A Stewart as Letitia, because this is how she is reported in most censuses I have found.  This is the standard spelling of this name.  In 910, she is listed as Martine C Stewart, in 1920 as Letticia C Stewart, and in 1930 as Letitia C Stewart.

    Letitia's husband's WWI registration gives us her middle name.

    The first two censuses seem to indicate that her birthday is between January and April 1881.  She is reported as 29 for an April 15 census and 38 for a January 1 census.  In 1930, the census date is 1 April (her household was enumerated on 7 April), and her age is 49.  This matches the pattern, confirming a birth date after January, but sometime before the two April censuses.  Her exact birth date is reported in the SSDI below.

    I found what appears to be our Letitia's Death record from the Social Security administration.  Note that here her name is spelled Letetia.  This is similar to the name in the 1930 census.  In that census it appears the name was first written as Litetia, the E filled in like an I, but with no dot above the I.  So the final reading looks more like Lititia.
