    • The Discepola/Rothwell marriage certificate: New York City Civil Registration,Manhattan 1905, Marriage Certificate #24544 (NYC Municipal Archives)

      Caroline appears on 1900 Census (see notes for Thomas Charles Rothwell) as "Eleanor"; possibly this is her middle name. No birth certificate has been located. Birthdate on 1900 Census is Oct 1888 and age provided on marriage certificate suggests Oct 12 as a birth day (although she added a year to her age to be married without parental consent)
