William Stanley Forrest 1937 obit
« on: Friday 29 May 20 19:09 BST (UK) »
 Can someone have a look to see if there is an obit for William Stanley Forrest who died in the Detroit area 22 Apr 1937. If there is one I am hoping it mentions step children who I am having a problem with.

Thanks

Maude's Petition for Naturalization in 1939  names 2 children.

Naturalization: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HS9G-BDPZ

=============

Edit to add-

The Helen Cayton listed in the 1940 with Maude as a lodger appears to be her daughter? The name, age & POB matches the info on Petition for Naturalization.

This would be Maude & her daughter Helen in the 1920 census.

1920: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZ7G-ZND

Helen died in 1986. DOB matches Petition for Naturalization record.

Maude married William E Graham in 1915.

Thanks RJ

The 1940 census is interesting in that Helen Cayton was born Graham and would have been 16 when Arleen was born 1934. I can see no marriage to a Cayton using either Helen Graham or Helen Forrest at least in Michigan.

Much appreciated
