While looking over our grandfather George Burns' siblings, I had a nagging gap of information. I had never found the death record for his sister Frances. I knew she had married and had a son. I found his birth record in the Minnesota Birth Index as William Waller. In newspaper articles, Frances was referred to as Mrs. W. H. Waller. Well....
I had never considered an alternate spelling! Someone on Ancestry used the spelling Wallar. My gap resolved. Her husband's name was actually Henry Wentworth Wallar.
I should have known to be more creative! Experiences trying to find out Stella Lazewski's real maiden name and looking for Dohertys in indices should have reinforced this for me!
