Life History

Notes

• From his age in the 1930 census, it appears that Claude Carey is the son of his father's first wife.  He is only 10 years younger than his 21-year-old "mother" in the 1930 census.  He is the nephew of Eurich V Eynon, whose widowed sister Muriel Carey is living in Eurich's household.  She is only 10 years older than Claude, who must therefore be her stepson.  Eurich's niece Betty Lou (Betty Louise) could be Muriel's own daughter.  Muriel would have been about 14 when she was born, so it possible she is Betty Lou's real mother.  But at her age, she is more likely the stepmother of both children.

  With the 1930 census now in hand, I was able to find a 1920 census that seems to represent this famly with Eurich's widowed mother, in Salt Lake City.  Very many details match, although tehre is a great discrepancy between the ages reproted for Eyrick V (17 in 1920) and Eurich V (21 in 1930).  The unusual facts about the parents make this a sure match.  We learn here also that Eurich had a twin brother, Cyril O.
  
  The child matching Eurich and Betty Lou's mother Muriel is enumerated here as F Louise. Perhaps Muriel was a 4th name.  Her age is a little off at 13 years old, making her birth year about 1916.  This contrasts with Muriel's age 21 in 1930, a gain of only 8 years, but as census ages go, this is good.
