Prior to that, I had a letter written by Margaret's mother, dated 1919, in which she stated that Margaret was living with her and she was in need of financial help. Her mother signed the letter as Mary Synch and she was living at 172 Norman Ave., the same address as when Margaret died. Mary did say that she was remarried but didn't give the first name of Mr. Synch. Margaret's father was John O'Keefe as per the death certificate. I don't know when or if he died. Could anyone find this family in 1920? I couldn't find them. Should be Mr. Synch, Mary and daughter Margaret Benham. I don't think Margaret's husband would be there but if he was, his name was John Vernon Benham. He was a merchant seaman in 1920 so could be away. Thanks for any help Peggy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
