Nora was born in November, 1891, Ella was born in February 1884, and Allison was born in October, 1885. This census states that Belle has had three children and all are living. It also states that Sylvester and Belle have been married for 17 years. Since Belle and Sylvester have only been married a year, both these statements are false. The 1910 has more correct information. Everyone was born in Michigan. Both of Sylvester’s parents, and Belle’s mother were born in New York.
