According to papers in possession of the author, Rosalie Rothwell was living on Railroad Avenue in Woodridge New Jersey before her marriage. Possibly because her brother [name not given- William, or a brother in law ?] was living on "the South Side of Moonachie Avenue a block west from Moonachie School."

Federal Census of US 1930, Bushwick, Brooklyn NY: Enumerates Rosalie (looks like "Rosalle"] Gorab and her son George, age 4. Much information inaccurate, for example George's birthplace is NY, his parents BPs as NY. This is of course wrong. Rosalie's age at first marriage, 18. Listed as divorced. They are enumerated at the last home address of Gerda Rothwell, indicating that mother and son had probably been living with Rosalie's mother when Gerda died.
