William Stalla - 1900, 1910, 1920. Completed
« on: Sunday 09 August 09 02:07 UTC (UK) »

I am looking for William Stalla [probable middle initial K.] in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses.  He was born about 1844 in Brooklyn, NY.  His father, Robert Stalla, was born in England and his mother, Jane Logan, was born in Scotland. 

I have found him in earlier censuses under various surnames:

1850 - Stalla, with his parents in Brooklyn, NY
1860 - Staley, with his cousin Anthony Logan in Medina County, Ohio
1870 - Stuller, with his wife Margaret in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1880 - Stalla, with his wife and daughter Ida in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have been unable to find him or his wife or daughter under any surname variant after 1880.

Hi Erato,

Have you ruled out the I M Stella who stays with a widowed mother Mary (image not very clear) at Philadelphia Ward 36, Philadelphia in 1900? Mother's details and parents' birth places don't really match though  Undecided

In 1920, Ida Stella, father born NY, mother born Penna, is still in Philadelphia age 49 and unmarried, an attaché at the Salvation Army Hospital Maternity.

Thanks, Tati.  I was aware of the 1900 and 1920 census entries with surname Stella.  I  guess that I was hoping that somebody might come up with something better, but those are the best candidates I have found.

There seem to be a lot of discrepancies in 1900 - mother’s first name, age, age at marriage, birth place of her parents, daughter’s first initial looks like J.

The 1920 census does seem pretty good.

What do you think, should I accept tthem?  Of all the Stallas, William is the only one I’ve been able to trace at all.  His brother Joseph has disappeared and the sisters all seem to have married or died without a trace.  So I was hoping to get somewhere with William and Ida.

I really don't know - not 100% happy with the 1900 census either although I thought the girl's initial looked pretty much like the I in Ireland (the J in Jno in the line underneath is a little different). Also I was hoping that Mrs Mary was in fact Mrs Marg but I'm not really convinced either.

I have never come up with anything good in 1910, either.  I'll go back to that census again today and see if I can dig something out.

As regards Ida Stella in the 1920 census, what do you think her status as attaché means?

Thanks.  This topic is now completed.  I have found William's death in 1898 at FamilySearch, Philadelphia death records.  Sorry, I hadn't previously noticed that these records were available at FamilySearch.  My only excuse is that I seldom need Pennsylvania records.
