    1. [MABRISTO] Fall River Directories
    2. Susan Jones
    3. Hi List, I am wondering if anyone is going to the library soon and can look through some old directories for me. I am trying to find when my gr. grandfather last appears in the directory. I would normally use a census record to cull the years down to 10 but he died sometime between 1890 and 1900. I have looked at the 1889-90 Fall River directories on Ancestry.com and there are 4 Joseph BELISLE on King Phillip Street which could be mine. There is a 5th one but the occupation is given as a weaver. I know that is incorrect my person. The other 4 do not have occupations given. I also do not have a house number on King Street where he lived. I am wondering if anyone can check the other years, from 1891 to 1900 and see when Joseph is no longer there. My Joseph was a Baker. I think the Joseph, Jr. mentioned would probably be his son, so that would bring the number of names down to 3. I cannot drive do to disabilities and Ancestry is about my only source. I have not been able to get to the FHC down the road in almost a year. Thanks for any help you can give. I am trying to find Joseph's death for my mother. She is 82 years old and has been trying to find when and where her grandfather died for many years. Sue in Sunny (but chilly) Florida [email protected]
