In 1900 and 1910, the family was living in Waltham, MA (Middlesex Co.). In 1920, they had moved to Somerville, MA (Middlesex Co.). And, they were actually on Somerville Ave. (not Bow St.). The Index has the wrong age in 1920; I think he should be 67, so there is a chance he died while living in Somerville, MA. So, a letter to the City Clerk's Office in Somerville might get you some information on the family. (Might be a small charge for look-up.) In the 1900 Census, John and Mary TODD have their niece, Mary WRIGHT, living with them, and a John TODD is mentioned, but he is not a son. I can't read the handwriting, but it looks like the word starts with "F." John and Mary had been married for 21 years, and Mary had had a child, but had no living child. My first thought is that he was a "foster son." I can't read the birthyear or the age, but I think it says he was born in Scotland. And, if they arrived in 1882, then the younger John TODD had to be at least 18 in 1900. TODD, JOHN (1900 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , MIDDLESEX, 3-WD WALTHAM Age: 46, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: SCOT Series: T623 Roll: 667 Page: 24 Hope this helps.
