Working on Clement/Clements

Question

The lineage of Clement/Clements (Arthur (1931-2005) used Clement, Lionell (1929- abt 2005) and Irene (b after 1931 died abt 1980) used Clements) are from Southbridge Mass.  The lineage is mostly in Quebec/Ontario area.

The above names are the three children

I believe their father was Leo P Clements (b abt 1895 died abt 1984 in MA)

I know their mother was Cecile Millette (b abt 1900 died abt 1948 in MA)

My problem is when I do searches, Cecile comes up as marrying every man in MA except for Leo P Clements.

I have traced names, but am going through more in depth verfications trying to get more than one certification to build trust in my research.

Any help would be great.

I don't know for sure

Cecile's parents

Leo P Clements (trying to verify that Alfred Clements and Mary P Trembley were the parents.

Lionell is my uncle

My father was Arthur Joseph (legally changed name to Joseph Arthur).

I'll try to keep looking, maybe there are two generations Lionell.

Yes indeed. The Lionel listed above married Cecile Millette. Perhaps Leo is short for Lionel?

This Cecile is the wrong one because my grandmother passed away when my father was 17 (1948) prior to him enlisting into the Marine Corps

I want to thank everyone for helping me out.  Most of my stuff was right, but wasn't getting much on the citation parts.

What drives me nuts is 1. trying to read hand writing (I have no worldy idea how the pros do it.) and 2. they use nicknames, middle names, partial names on so many 'official' documents.

Still learning here.

 

thank you all again.

I'm glad I could help you. In addition to the problem with keeping the names consistent, women are almost 100% guilty of lying about their ages on censuses......censi?

THAT is another obstacle that is difficult to surmount.

Good luck with your search and if you need any more help don't hesitate to ask.
