David The Social Security death index on Ancestry does not give parents names but it lists his birthplace as Connecticut. So, he is likely the 6-year-old David A Grimason living in Manchester, Hartford, Connecticut at the time of the 1930 census. He was living with his parents William R Grimason (37, Northern Ireland) and Eunive Grimason (32, Connecticut) and his 11-year-old brother William R. A Member's tree says that Eunice's maiden name was Wilson. It also gives son William's middle name as Reginald. Vermont marriage records show a 1917 marriage between the 23-year-old Irish-born tailor William Grimason (son of Abel B. Grimason and Sarah S. McCall of Ireland) and Eunice Wilson. Both the bride and groom's addresses are So. Manchester Connecticut but they married in Battleboro Vermont 23 March 1917.

John: The listing for Connecticut is not the birthplace. It is the state where the Social Security Card was issued. This can be ascertained by the first three numbers - which are assigned to particular states. A person could be born anywhere else, but the listing represents the state where the person was a resident when the card was issued. While it is now customary that all persons born in the US receive a SS card soon after birth, this is a fairly new practice. In the past, a person would only apply for a card when he/she began working or opened a bank account. So a person born in New York and living in Connecticut at the time of application would receive a Connecticut number.

Hi Jim and John, Have found the family in the 1940 Census once again a miss transcription however based on the image I can understand how that happened. The family is listed under the Grimson surname, which by chance some of the family have used when it suited as well. Once again David is listed as David A and in 1940 aged 17 so that is a good fit plus in the right location for The David Arthur Grimason in the Manchester High School Year book the following year. I think the case is now solved. On 11/04/2016 5:13 AM, Jim Owston via wrote: > John: > > The listing for Connecticut is not the birthplace.
