Dear Judy, I tracked down the image on www.ancestry.com of the 1942 City Directory for N. Rampart Street. What is listed there for 228 is not a Pickering, but a man called Albert Nyman. When I cross-checked that name with the 1930 Census, I found someone by that name married with no children, born in 1874. I don't know the streets of New Orleans well, and cannot recognize the name he lives on. It is not Rampart. It ends in a "y." The addresses around there on Rampart Street are mostly commercial. The Census listed Mr. Nyman as a Marine Engineer. Perhaps Rampart Street is an office? Since I can't send image over the list, and I don't know if you have Ancestry, I'll send both the City Directory page and the Census page to your tudemurdog address. If anyone else wants to see what I found, let me know. (The exact directions to the City Directory Page are: Go to U.S. City Directories. Do not use Name. For Lived In put New Orleans. Do not use Event. Put 228 N Rampart in More Keyword Put 1942 in Directory Group Year) I had 50 outcome images coming up on a page. The one I wanted was number 52, number 2 on the second page. Happy Thanksgiving.
