[or-roots] Hoping for another lookup

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
