Susan,My grandfather is William Henry, and he died in 1937, so I never knew him.In fact, my dad barely knew him as he left my grandmother and 4 young children for another woman.Perhaps that is Gladys.My Grandmother's name was Marie.I kind of lost track of this side of the family as my dad, John W. died 42 years ago. I recently obtained a 1920 census listing the family and my father's 3 siblings, Ruth, James and twin sister Martha.Interestingly, my dad is listed as William H.The only thing I can think of is my grandmother changed his name in early childhood, not wanting to have him named after the man that abandoned them almost completely, if not completely.I am researching this.
