Here are the NOlans in Marion in the 1930 census: One household: Anderson j Nolan 48 1881 North Carolina Head White Marion, McDowell, NC Margaret Nolan 50 1879 Wife Marion, McDowell, NC (her and parents b NC) married at 19 Anderson w Nolan 26 1903 Son Marion, McDowell, NC Burt l Nolan 6 1923 Grandson Marion, McDowell, NC Roy w Nolan 4 1925 Grandson Marion, McDowell, NC Second household: Anderson g Nolan 35 1894 North Carolina Head White (H.G. or A.G????) Marion, McDowell, NC Elm l Nolan 28 1901 Wife Marion, McDowell, NC (looks like it could be Ellen, or is this a feminine version of Elmer -- Elm, Elmer, Delmer, etc? and middle Initial "L") b. NC & parents, married at 21 Paul g Nolan 6 1923 Son Marion, McDowell, NC *** If this "ELM" is her -- then she would have still be living with her family in 1920. Have you found them in the census? Where were they located, age of the father, etc. Kate in CHicago
