Thanks a million to Joan for the look up I requested from the 1942 city directory on PICKERING and the Rampart address. I'd like to enlist the great minds of this list in helping me decipher the info I have and/or find additional info on Eleanora J. DANIEL, my mothers cousin. Thought I might have caught a break with the PICKERING name, but probably not. This is what I do have: Walter Nicator DANIEL m. Estelle Celia (on MO marriage cert) Eugenia (on AL death cert) GREGORY in MO and moved to Louisville, KY. They had daughter Eleanora J. DANIEL 11 Sept 1913 per KY birth cert. They moved to Phenix City, AL around 1920, home of Julia Ann Daniel FULLER, Walter's mother who dies in 1922. Estelle DANIEL died 3 Dec 1928 having lived in PC, AL for 8 yrs and being survived by husband Walter and daughter Eleanora, per her obit. 1930 census has Walter and Eleanora living in Mobile, AL. Time goes by and I find Walter's death cert in NOLA, 3 Mar 1965, having lived in NOLA for 35 years, widow, retired government work. The informant signs the name Elenore DANIEL living at the same address as Walter on Thalia. Walter is buried at the Garden of Memories in Metairie so I contacted them for info. They told me the plot was paid for by Elenore DANIEL but when they sent the deed registered mail to the residence, it was returned unopened. Previous attempts looking up Eleanora/Elenore DANIEL in the 1963-65 city directory produced no results. There is no grave marker for Walter. I recently came across Walter's WWll registration card and it lists him living at 926 Poydras and "the name and address of person who will always know your address" was Mrs. Eleanor PICKERING at 228 N. Rampart (actually spelled Ramrart on the form), tho it doesn't specifically list NOLA as the city and state. I was hoping to find that Mrs. PICKERING was his daughter but the info in the 1942 city directory is not helpful. Thru volunteers, I've never found an obit or a will. Leitz-Egan Funeral Home on Magazine St. handled the remains, I contacted them but they never got back with me. One last thing I have been looking into, I found an Eleanor Pearl PICKERING on the SSDI whose DOB was listed as 20 Sept 1911 which is very similar to Walter's daughter's b-day, so I'm checking into to her death cert to see if it might be. Her obit doesn't list her maiden name or her husbands name. So, that's what I'm up against. I look on line every few months to see if some information has been added that might help me find Eleanora J. DANIEL, but am still not having any luck. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I might look to find her, please feel free to share. Sorry this is so long but I didn't want anyone to waste their time looking up stuff I already have. I've even looked thru all 5000+ names on the SSDI with the DOB 9-11-1913. And I have searched info under every spelling and nickname I could think of, not limited to the obvious!

Judy, the Eleanor Pearl Pickering born in 1911 and who died in 2001 is apparently not the Eleanore Daniel you are looking for. Someone on Ancestry.com interested in the Reeder family has the photo of her tombstone, and she was buried in the same plot as her mother, Emma Pearl Kersey (whose maiden name was Reeder) who was the wife of Rudolph Kersey. Name on her tombstone is Eleanor Pearl Pickering. This is the same Eleanor who seems to have been married first to James Curtis Coleman in Missouri and then a Pickering in CA. --- On Fri, 11/26/10, tudemurdog <[email protected]> wrote: > From: tudemurdog <[email protected]> > Subject: [LAORLEAN] Eleanora J.
