Hi Bill, Because Alfred Earl was born after the last available census, I am guessing here. But in the 1930 census in West Virginia, this family is still growing, with a young wife and with an eldest son with same name. (The first four children are from a first marriage) It is a possibility? Take a gander and see if this might be them. If so, we might be able to find further data on the family from earlier census years. Let us know? Hope this helps a little JAL 1930 US CENSUS West Virginia. Webster County.
