Daughter Violet or Rosa? Attempting to reconcile information on birth and marriage records with information in published obituaries. Perhaps there are a couple errors on birth record above or obituary below 1. Name of child is actually name of mother instead of child's name (blank) later named as Violet? 2. Date of birth May 24, 1898 (obituary) and May 24, 1897 (birth record). 3. Mother last name previous to marriage Rosa Henry instead of Rosa Pregont (former Violet Pregont?)
