Surnames: Detato and Webster Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AFB.2ACE/1836 Message Board Post: My story is long and appears to be complicated , so I will try to cut the chase My father-in-law does not remember his mother. On his birth certificate it has his mother being Jennie Detato Born 1907 (1920 Census Wilmington, Middlesex,Mass on Beach Street)to Antonio and Antonetta Detato from Italy. around 1925-1926 she "married" Raymond A Webster Born 12 April 1905 in Vermont (1920 Census Wilmington, Middlesex, Mass on Swain Road) to Albert J and Bridget Webster. My father- in-law Albert J Webster born 4/24/1927 Mass and a brother Raymond A about 1929-1930 in Mass. He does remember living on Swaine Road (with Webster grandparents and visiting grandparents on Beach Street). Jennie Detato Webster was "put away" sometime in the early 1930's due to a mental illness. I have searched Mass state for 2 years and I have found no record of the births of the sons Albert or Raymond. I have found no record of marriage for Raymond A and Jennie. Or where Jennie went(even looked in Tewksbury). I can not find Jennies parents in 1930 Census. I can not find Raymond A or either of the 2 sons Raymond A Webster married again around 1935-1937 to Mabel Harrison born 10 November 1902. They had a son Lawrence born Abt. 1936 died 27 October 1954 according to Lowell Sun - burried Wildwood Cemetary. They lived on Swain Road in Wilmington, Mass. Raymond A died 15 January 1993 Cushing, Payne, Oklahoma and would never tell Albert(father-in-law) what happened to his mother. It is my understanding he was a hateful man. Health concerns are involved on both of these parents- heritary or not?? Jennie had a brother Augusta Detato (GUS)born Abt. 1912, Mass died 11 May 1954 Wakefield, Middlesex, Massachusetts married Lillian Cluney born 11 April 1904 died 03 November 1992 Melrose, Mass all have been burried Wildwood Cemetary.. but lived on Beach Street for quite sometime. If you look in the Lowell Sun 1930's -1950's they usually stayed in the news. I also have been unable to find the cemetery records.. According to a Detato cousin, Jennie was a big family secret, somewhat a family disgrace and it was never discussed. Considering the times, we can see that. In 1939 the boys Albert J and Raymond A were removed from the home according to Albert J..... The next time Albert J saw his father Raymond A was about 1988. Would appreciate any help you can give me, if fees are involved let me know because I am beginning to think I may have to make a visit from Texas and find out information from the Court House if necessary. Father in law turns 79 this month and we would like to give him reconciliation to the matter concerning his mother. mcbfinder@yahoo.com Thanks
