<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 52313, member: 59&quot;]Another update on Idris (Edyrs) W. Williams of Poultney, VT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Must have been a very unusual name because he is listed as a female on the Birth Record. His birth was not attended by a doctor, so that may have lead to the confusion. Born 29 Sep 1888.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;Jennie Williams&quot; in the 1900 Census was not his mother. Jennie and his father had only been married 1 year at that date.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Birth record shows Idris (Edyrs) as the child of Kate Ellis Williams and William O. Williams. Kate was born about 1867 in Wales to John and Elizabeth (Jones) Ellis. She died on 11 Jun 1890 in Poultney.</p><p><br /></p><p>She and William had at least 2 other children, both girls - Mary, born 1886, died in Poultney on 6 Jul 1887; and Edith W. born 1885, died May 1887, age 2 of measles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to Idris. Cannot be found in the 1910 Census. Next record is his WWI Draft Registration Form in 1917. He was living in Leroy, Genesee County, New York and working as a clerk for a contracting company. Single.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1920, the only record I could find that seems to be him, again shows him as female, but everything else matches up. Living in Ilion, Herkimer County, NY, again doing clerical work for a typewriter company. Single.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1930 I have sad news to report. He was a patient at The Craig Colony in Groveland, Livingston County, NY. I believe this was a TB sanitarium.</p><p><br /></p><p>No records after that date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you post what you have about &quot;Humph&quot; Roberts and Emrys Willa? When I was going through the cemetery records in Poultney, I saw some names that might be them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
