Can you identify these Allens? This is Mr. & Mrs. Allen. Parents of James Allen born abt 1905 in Canada. Who are they and where were they from?
Sharon Allen:
"An unknown cousin saw the picture and recognized her mother, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. She has the same photos in her collection! James Allen was my father-in-laws father. My father-in-law was the son of Laura Chaney and James Allen, born in Detroit, MI in 1929. On the 1930 US Census, Laura and her son were at Laura's childhood home in Indiana. On the 1931 Canadian Census, James is living in Galway, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada with his uncle. James Allen married in Canada in 1936 and had seven children with his wife. My father-in-law never met his father or extended family. But, we have many DNA matches to this Allen family, which confirms our connection."

I have an old studio photograph of Bessie Pearl HUNTRESS which is dated 7 Apr 1884 and was taken at the L. Dowe Studio in San Francisco, CA. She appears to be about 1-2 years old at the time the photograph was taken. The photograph also appears to have been gifted "To Mrs. BLACKWELL". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Bessie and her family:
Bessie Pearl HUNTRESS was b. 16 Feb 1883 in San Francisco, CA to parents Oscar Peter HUNTRESS (1847-1910) and Harriet “Hattie” E. G. SPENCER (1862-1910) who were married 6 May 1882 in San Jose, CA. Bessie was one of 6 children born to this couple including Bessie Pearl; Baby Girl; Mary Dolores; Georgia or Georgianna Lulu or Lula; Baby Boy; and Helen or Henrietta Harriet HUNTRESS, all born between 1883 and 1895. Bessie’s father had a child from an earlier marriage, Herbert Channing HUNTRESS (1869-1930).
Bessie married James B. or E. CAMERON (1877-1913) on 21 Jan 1904 in San Jose, CA and they had four children including Adelaide “Ada” or “Addie” Bessie; Alfred; Lauder or Lander Charles; and Christina CAMERON, all born between 1906 and 1909. Bessie also married a second time to Raymond “Ray” Martin GILBERT (1882-1981) on 29 May 1918 in San Francisco, CA. Bessie died 22 Nov 1953 in Santa Clara County, CA.

G Stout:
Grandpa - Donald Joslin was my paternal grandfather. Sometime after his divorce from grandmother Audrey he lived with my father Louis Joslin, mother Wanda Kline, siblings at time...SuLinda, Vicki, and me...Glenda. He was ill, but let the youngest comb his hair and wash ears on porch in our house on Pottawattomi Street in Hiawatha KS. He gave us $0.10 to do this and he enjoyed watching us bury our money in the yard to grow a money tree!
