- * Name:Bernadette M. ARBOUR
* Sex:F
* ALIA:Budgisol ARBOUR or Berdmath /ARBOUR/
* Birth:ABT 1908 in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA
* Residence:North Adams, MA, in 1910, in 1920 (7 Hooker St), and in 1928 (16 Hooker St)
* Occupation:Telephone Operator (1928)
* Note:Budgisol is definitely an unusual name. Although the Census was clearly written, could this be a mistake? Perhaps her real name is Bridget. In 1930, there was a 21-year old Bridget F. HOWARD, married to a John C. HOWARD and living in Boston,MA, at 14 Horace Street. This Bridget was born in MA but her parents were born in Canada. Bridget and John married 2 years before. He was 43-years oldand had been apparently married before, as there were 9 children, ages 22 down to 7.Could this beour Budgisol? There are no Budgisols listed and this is the only Bridget in MA who seems to remotelyfit into our family.[1930Census]
It turns out that her name might not be Bridget after all. She was alsoknown as Lizzie so perhaps her name was Elizabeth or some variation.
Ok, here we go again, another name for this person. In 1928, she was recorded as Bernadette, which does explain a lot of the B-name varieties.
According to the 1910 Census, Bernadette was born about 1905.
