| Hello again Eugene, Here is Ellen with her parents and siblings in the 1920 census. It appears her parents actual age seems to vary between census records. I'm more inclined to believe the 1910 census. The census states nobody in the family could read or write. *1920 United States Federal Census Name: Ellen Emery Home in 1920: Straight Creek, Bell, Kentucky Age: 13 years Estimated Birth Year: abt 1907 Birthplace: Kentucky Relation to Head of House: Daughter Father's Name: John Father's Birth Place: Kentucky Mother's Name: Roda Mother's Birth Place: Virginia Marital Status: Single Household Members: Name Age John Emery 80 Roda Emery[Rhoda] 30 ( Virginia) George Emery 15 Nathan Emery 14 Ellen Emery 13 Dennie Emery 11 Wellie Emery 9 James Emery 8 Lilia Emery 4 11/12 *************************************** Here's the family in the 1910 census.
