Thank you Nancy, that was some help. You see Percy PIERCE-NOYES was separated from her husband, on the 1910 census, she was living with her son in Los Angeles, she said she was a widow on the census, but her husband didn't die till the early 1900's. Some times it seems my ancestors are trying to trip me up, because they change their name every census. I have seen Percy change her name so much, she must have been running from the law. THANK YOU FOR YOU KINDNESS Shirley Noyes-Sullivan
