Hi, Marilyn- I checked 1900 and 1910 censuses - no Strayhornes in Mass., and none who were born in Ireland or NB. However, there was a Clarke Strayhorn (no e) in the 3rd ward in Boston in 1900. Clark Strayhorn - b. Oct. 1851 in NB. Parents both from Ireland. Came to US in 1886. Was not naturalized. Occupation -Blacksmith -Married 27 years Sarah Strayhorn -wife -b. NB, Jan.1858 -parents both from Ireland- 5 children, 3 living Herbert Strayhorn (son) -b. NB, June 1874- came to US-1886 occ.-bookkeeper. Married 3 years Jessie Strayhorn (dau-in-law) b. NB, Nov. 1876 -came to US 1886 - no children Elizabeth Strayhorn - Daughter of Clarke and Sarah, b.NB, 1878, came to US -1895 -single- Saleslady Hope this helps - I think it's interesting that Elizabeth came 9 years after her parents and brother came -wonder why?
