Look up request: William Connon (b.1862)

[Windsor87]

Thanks shelly,

I do have this from the 1930 US Census,

I don't know the address, but its somewhere in New Jersey:

Nellie H. Fitzpatrick, Head, Wid., 67 years, b. Scotland.
Bessie Connon, [Can't read relation to head], 43 years, b. Scotland.
William H. Connon, Newphew, 39, b Massachusetts.
James E. Connon, Nephew, 37, b. Massachsetts.
William H. Connon, G Nephew, 10, b New Jersey.
Ellen A. Connon, G Neice, 6, b. New Jersey.

So that looks like it adds up with your info.

There's a William H. Connon on the Social Security Death Index who was born 4 Apr. 1893, died 6 Jul. 1957, and Soc. Sec. No. issued in New Jersey in 1951.

That certainly appears to be him even if he can't quite decide on how old he actually is. According to the earliest census he appears on, he was born in 1892 - not 1893 or 1895. He must have been in denial about his age.

Unfortunately I can't find William Connon (b.1862) on the 1930 Federal Census. I think we shall have to assume that he died between 1920 and 1930.

Hello Windsor87.

There is a RAOGK volunteer who will do public record look ups for Wareham. Plymouth.

Would this be worth an e-mail to see if you can find the death of William Connon between 1920 and 1930 ? Nothing ventured - nothing gained 

1st one on the list:-

1916 Wareham, Mass. city directory
Connon, William  gardener at Gen Weld's, home Indian Neck off Agawam Neck rd.

(perhaps Gen Weld refers to this man? http://tinyurl.com/y8qpu85   His obit lists him as of Wareham - http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9907E3D6163AEE32A25754C1A9659C946195D6CF)

1928 Wareham, Mass. city directory
Connon, William  gardener, home Indian Neck Road

Ah excellent. That certainly seems like it could be him.

Thanks shelley!

It would seem that William Connon died in 1941. Another case closed...

That's good news.  In the interim, the 1940 census has also come out and he looks to be here - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K4N5-J76
