It's difficult to know what resources to consult without having some idea of when the family migrated from the midwest to San Mateo county. However, I did find two pieces of information that may in some way assist you in your research: The CA Death Index indicates that Kenneth was born in MN rather than WI; note that this information is only as accurate as the knowledge/recollection of the person who provided the information when Kenneth died. MORRIS, KENNETH COWELL d 22 Mar 1951 SAN MATEO county 559033344 MALE died 8 Jun 1906 MINNESOTA mother's maiden COWELL In the 1930 censuses, I don't find any good matches for a Kenneth MORRIS born circa 1906 in Minnesota or Wisconsin. In ancestry.com's "Family Data Collection," I find a submission that also indicates Kenneth was born in Minnesota: Name: Morris, Kenneth Cowell Father: Morris , Morgan Mother: Cowell , Clara Maria Birth Date: 8 June 1906 City: Mankato State: MN Country: USA Have you also posted queries in the MORRIS and COWELL surname boards?
