Whittle&#8217;s older daughter Clara May Whittle?  According to Ruth, Clara died 10 Dec 1946 and is buried in the family plot in Govans.  She was interred there 12 Dec 1946.  The interment records for this time period exist, so we have no doubt on this information.  Ruth is going to look for an obituary for us.<\/p>\n<p>On the 1900 Census, Clara was residing as a niece in the household of Joseph and Margaret Hampson in Baltimore City.  I almost dismissed this record as they have her listed as age 83, however, the image reveals a birth date of Jun 1866 with an age of 33.  Margaret (Higle) Hampson was the older sister of Georgeanna Higle.  The household as indexed is:<sup>1<\/sup><br \/>\nJoseph Hampson, age 70, head<br \/>\nMargaret, age 69, wife,<br \/>\nWilliam W., age 35, son<br \/>\nEdward S., age 33, son<br \/>\nEmma B., age 32, son<br \/>\nOliva S., age 29, son<br \/>\nClara Whittle, age 83 [33], niece<\/p>\n<p>In 1910 she is still living with the Hampson family and the household consists of:<sup>2<\/sup><br \/>\nMargaret L. Hampson, age 79<br \/>\nEmma B., age 40<br \/>\nOlivia S., age 38<br \/>\nWilliam W., age 38<br \/>\nClara Whittle, age 35<br \/>\nThe ages are not of any real issue \u2013 this is obviously the same family.  Clara is listed has having her \u201cOwn income\u201d under occupation.<\/p>\n<p>In 1920 she is with her cousins and the household consists of:<sup>3<\/sup><br \/>\nEmma Hampson, age 60<br \/>\nOlivia, age 57<br \/>\nClara Whitte, age 56 [the image is Whittle]<\/p>\n<p>In 1930, on the last available census, she is with her last cousin and the household consists of:<sup>4<\/sup><br \/>\nOlivia S. Hampson, age 70<br \/>\nClara M.
