Carolyn - Thank you for that information.
In 1910, Prince (later, Philip) was probably already living in Lynn. I have a copy of his WWI draft registration, dated 1917, showing him living in Lynn.
He was a department manager and window dresser for a clothing store that had a store in Lynn and another in Nashua, NH. His draft registration shows his place of employment as being in both cities. That may be the reason the 1920 census lists him as not living with Florence. He probably spent time in both cities and was not in Lynn on the date his census info was taken. I still remember seeing him at work in the Lynn store back in the early 1950s.
Around 1949-50, we lived in the same house. He and his family were on the 2nd floor, while my parents and I lived on the 1st floor.
I would appreciate any census info you can give me at your convenience.
Thanks again,
Bob Bailey
