Sam, Thanks, but Howard Edwin is a different son, born not in 1900, but ca. 1904.  Henry Victor is the son I was asking about.  For example, here is the family in the 1910 Census, where there is no son named James Victor: Howard N Ankeny 38 Ella M Ankeny 30 Elsie C Ankeny 12 William F Ankeny 10 Henry V Ankeny 9 Catherine L Ankeny 6 Howard E Ankeny 6 Dorothy I Ankeny 4 Nellie V Ankeny 2 Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Blah BlahBlah Sent: 08/07/13 02:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MDWashin] Howard Newcomer Ankeney Hi, A brief search of Familysearch and google seems to show that Howard's middle name was Edwin, not Victor, and he was born in 1903. Per SSDI at Familysearch, was born 12 Aug 1903 and died Mar 1959; married Anna M. (per 1940 census); per his obit, her maiden name was McKey. Per SSDI at Family search, James V. was born 9 July 1900 and died Sep 1982; appears to have married Helen Armstrong in Ohio in 1924, but Findagrave lists his spouse a*s* Jeanette H. Tripp, so assume he was married at least twice. Hope this helps.

Woops! One day will learn to read. Did a bit more newspaper searching and can't find any Henry. Oh, and McKey should be McKee. Obituary of Howard Newcomer Ankeney mentions Victor, no Henry. The WWI draft registration record has Henry Victor Ankeney, b. 9 July 1900, so it seems to me they're the same person and for some reason he changed his preferred name to James??? Here's a link: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KZ8F-D9K He had to sign the registration, so perhaps you could compare handwriting if you have a sample of James'. My apologies for the mix up. Sam P.S. Here's a link to James V. Ankeney's 1924 marriage to Helen Armstrong--her maiden name was Hall (her father Wm. T. Hall). The image there shows James Victor's birth day/month as 9 July. More proof they're the same? On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Mike Rohrer <[email protected]> wrote: > Sam, Thanks, but Howard Edwin is a different son, born not in 1900, > but ca. 1904.
