1930 US census

[Erato]

Here is Vincent in 1940.  Near the bottom of the same page, there is a Catherine Phillips, aged 53? or 63?, born in Ireland.  It might be worth trying to track her to see if she is Vincent's aunt.

Yes I certainly will follow this lead. You have shown me that I need to look further along on a census for clues. Thank you so much Erato.

This appears to be the same Catherine Phillip [no 's'] in 1930:

There is a niece? and a brother? surnamed McTire?  Do you recognize that surname?

Following up on the Catherine Phillips found. It appears to be the right person.

Thank you so much to Erato and RJ137 for providing me with all this great information. I've been able to fill in a lot of holes on my tree.
