But two different ages are given (16 and 18); Mettie's mother was a Phipps and so Mettie was actually born as a Phipps; her first marriage was to a McMillan (Charlie) so if she was married at the time of the census her name should have been McMillan, not Phipps or Halsey; none of Mettie's descendants that I am in contact with have any knowledge of her ever being called Victoria, just Mettie or Beatrice. What you speculate is a very real possibility and I haven't totally discounted it. I am trying to locate a Victoria Halsey in the 1930 census or a marriage record of a Victoria Halsey and (anybody).
