    In the census of 1940, we get the names of the two children.  Notice that his employment is different in the 1940 census and the 1940 city directory.

    By 1953, Verlin and his family are in Richmond, California.  I found this directory record before I found the 1940 census, so I had surmised from this directory that Verlene was Verlin and Mary's daughter.  This was confirmed in the 1940 census (see above).  Verlene is living in Verlin's home.  I have not identified Florence and Louise.

    By 1957 they are in San Jose, California.  There are many Briscoes here that are not likely directly related to them.  I don't find any of the other names associated with Verlin's previous listings.

    In 1960, they are still in San Jose.
