Perhaps the Whitehead's were living in Scotland, Texas at the time of the photo. X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 03:51:06 -0500 From: "Phoenix" Subject: [ROOTS-L] William Roscoe & Beulah Whitehead - need help...bit of a mystery I am trying to locate the maiden name of my ggrandmother and figure out an apparent discrepancy. If anyone could do a look up I would appreciate it so much. This is the info I have: Her name is Beulah Mae (Whitehead) b. 24 Jan 1907, Louisiana – d. 20 Apr 1994, Longview, Gregg Co. Tx Married William Roscoe Whitehead b. 02 Jun 1904, Louisiana – d. 1984 Jan, Longview, Gregg Co. I presume they married in Louisiana. The 1930 census states that her parents were born in Louisiana. It also states WR Whitehead’s parents as being born in Louisiana. The census cites 2 children: William R. Whitehead, Jr. (my grandfather), and Minnie Whitehead, both born in Louisiana. Here is the part that is presenting itself as a mystery to me: I have a formal military photo of my grandfather (WR Whitehead, Jr.) taken when he was 18. On the back a great deal is written about where he was stationed, et al. In the first paragraph it says this though: “William Roscoe Whitehead – 18 yrs” “son of Mr. And Mrs. WR Whitehead – Scotland” Then it goes on to say that he is stationed in India, etc. Scotland obviously is not Louisiana. Any ideas that might help explain the seeming discrepancy between the census and the photo? As usual, any help or pointers at all will be helpful. Michelle
