Linda;
I have a Census lookup for you;
In 1910;
Surname GivenName Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location
Year
WILLOUR WILLIAM A 31 M W PA PA MCKEAN 6-WD BRADFORD 1910
Willour, William A Head m w 31 M1 8 all births are Pennsylvania
Eva M. wife F W 28 M1 8 2 children 2 living
Lois (sp?) dau F W 6 s
Lester son M W 4 s
I am not sure of Lois, and neither was the transcriber, initially I think it
might have been written Louis son M, but written over. This is a rare
surname. I think I did all the Willours in the US in one census and it was
less than a thousand. Unfortunately in neither 1900 or 1920 do I find these
folks. I suspect Eva nad William are probably not married in 1900, but I am
not all that excited about their parents, but would like to be certain Lois
is "Dusett" I find married to the fellow I believe is my cousin Johhny
Hansen in 1930 in San Francisco;
1930 > CALIFORNIA > SAN FRANCISCO > SAN FRANCISCO 25-DIST
Series: T626 Roll: 199 Page: 53
Hansen John Head 29 ma age 22 Oregon Norway United States
Dusett Wife 26 " 19 Massachusetts Italy Italy
Lois dau 5 California Oregon Massachusetts
Now I am pretty sure this is my cousin John and his daughter. I have a
letter to Grandma listing his daughter as Lois and I think referring to his
wife as Duce or something like that, but why list her place of birtht as
Mass and her parents as Italy? Unless in 1910 they were scared of the No
Nothings and didn't want to be Italian? but then in the death index;
HANSEN JOHN E 1901 01 04 M OR LOS ANGELES 1976 06 01 75
HANSEN LOIS ARLENE 1903 08 23 WILLOUR F PA ALAMEDA 1988 12 09
85
DANCOSSE LOIS DANI 1925 07 13 WILOUR HANSEN F CA ALAMEDA 1997
11 09 72
These just look too good not to be my people, and Lois senior lists Penn for
place of birth, but where did Dusett come from?
Anyway if you can find Wiliam and Eva in 1920 in California it would go a
long way to making this all believable?
In 1925 I think this is Evain Mendocino Co?;
Burlingame Directory 1925
Marie Frances Beauty Shop (Eva Willour Lenora Reinhart) 1116 Bway
I seem to have forgotten to note the county, it was an image and it didn't
paste in.
Lester is also in the death index, but he is no help;
WILLOUR LESTER ARTHUR 1905 06 12 M PA ALAMEDA 1979 03 28 73
What really irks me is according to Cousin Phoebe Johnny was a man of
substance in the Frisco Port authority or some such, "big house on the hill"
and all of that when she knew him as a kid, and not one word in any history
and nothing in any genealogy web site except a whole bunch of land
transactions in Alameda county;
83016910 01/31/1983 PROPERTY AGREEMENT DANCOSSE ARTHUR J & LOIS D DANCOSSE
LOIS D & ARTHUR J Perm
98010577 01/13/1998 AFFIDAVIT OF DEATH DANCOSSE LOIS DANI Perm
Apparently Arthur lived past 1997 when my Cal death index ends. No sign of
any of these folk in any cemetery either.
Thank you
Les
