General Notes:
Richard Braley notes:
Susan Bell was born on April 13, 1867 in Marion (some records show Acushnet, but the birth record shows Marion). She married Joseph Ellis on August 3, 1898, who was 9 years younger than Susie. They had three children, Elmer F born about 1899, Mattie Bell born October 6, 1901 and named for her sister. A son, Walter, died on March 12, 1906 at the age of 1 year, 10 months of Broncho-pneumonia. They were living in Bourne by the time Walter was borne.
The 1900 census, done in June 1900, shows Frank S, Susie and her husband Joseph and son Elmer, and two Tiernan children, Charles and Edith, living with Savory and Sylvia. What happened to Lawrence? It also appears that Savory and Sylvia may have adopted Charles and Edith.
The 1910 Bourne census shows Charles Sumner Braley, same birthdate, living as a border in Bourne. Records show he married Gladys H. (?) in 1914. The 1920 census for Bourne. The 1930 census shows them living on Shore Road and that he was a house painter. The 1940 census is tricky. The Bourne census show Charles Sr. as married but living as a border. Gladys H Braley is living as a housekeeper in Danielson, CT. She has a 5 year old son Earle and is divorced. It is not clear that they are the same. Charles Sumner Braley Sr. died in New Bedford on July 10, 1970
The 1910 New Bedford census shows the Ellis family with Edith Braley, a niece, living with them and working as a clerk in a dry goods store. Sometime between the 1910 census and 1919, Edith married Wilbur Snyder. The record shows her name as Edith Julia Braley Tiernan. Their daughter Beverley was born in 1919 in Cambridge. By 1925, the Snyders were living in Utica, NY where he worked for the Railroad YMCA. By the 1930 census, they lived in Springfield, MA. He was still working for the Railroad YMCA. Beverley graduated from Springfield Classical High School and attended the Mass State College in Amherst (now UMass). Edith and Wilbur moved to Concord, NH. He still worked for the YMCA. He died in 1968 and she died October 10, 1990.
Susan married Joseph Ellis on 3 Aug 1898. (Joseph Ellis was born circa 1876.)
