Hi again, I thought the LUSCOMB name sounded familiar. I checked my previous postings to this List and was reminded that .. that was the last name of my husband's grandmother's step-father - back in London, England, ~1900. I just found that out a few months ago. I did a quick check at census information, and it's not a popular name. There were only about 45 people with the name in MA in 1900, and less in 1910 and 1920. A few of them born in England. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (I have not been able to find out whether Annie Mary Magdalene McLOUGHLIN / McLAUGHLIN had any relatives in MA when she migrated here from London. Or whether she had any relatives come over here after she did. From memory, she had 3 older sisters, and I don't know whether they all remained in England. Her father had died when she was a baby. She married in Waltham to James GAVIN.)
