Notes for Jean Marie KIERNAN:

We see Jean in 1940, living at what appears to be Hunter street, Ward 3, Everett, Everett City, Middlesex, Massachusetts but sadly, it seems that the adjudicator muddled the names up. I wonder if perhaps one lady was babysitting for several of the neighbours:
Normine Alice P Head 40 Seamstress Massachusetts
Normine Cynthia Daur 6 Massachusetts
Ball Jean Daur 13 Massachusetts
Ollis George F Son 1 month Massachusetts
Mahoney Miranne Daur 1 month Massachusetts
Kiernan Jean Marie Daur 2 months Massachusetts

Jean's parents were for some reason, living at 65 Newton Street, Everett, Massachusetts:
Thomas P Kiernan Head Mar 31 Post Clerk Massachusetts
Mabel A Kiernan Wife 30 Massachusetts
__________

In 1950, Jean was living with her parents at Downstairs, 38 Cambrig(?) Westward Road, Somerville, Massachusetts:
Thomas Kiernan Head Mar 41 Clerk Post Office Massachiusetts
Mabel A Kiernan Wife 40 Massachusetts
Jean Kiernan Daur 10 Massachusetts
Thomas Kiernan Son 8 Massachusetts
Ellen Kiernan Daur 6 Massachusetts
