Looking for the parents of my uncle George C. Taft Sr, [Taft-274].  He was born 10 Feb 1920 in Rhode Island. Seems to be a roadblock right now. Thanks for any help in advance!! 

This source does NOT show parents that I can tell, and he would have been 5 years old:

  • "Rhode Island State Census, 1925," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MV47-667 : 24 May 2014), George Taft, Date of Birth: 1920, Woonsocket Ward 03, E.D. 350, Providence, Rhode Island; citing p. 28, line 20, State Archives, Providence; FHL microfilm 1,769,847. (no parents listed)

A possiblity might be David Taft and Isabella Kirby that was added to the Find A Grave memorial here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=160625348 but can't get their birth or death dates to line up. One source has David born in 1818 and an Isabella in 1877. Unfortunity its from Ancestry and I am getting roadblocks to have them a couple or even match up close enough to give birth to George C.

1925 Providence Rhode Island Census,Isabelle Taft age 48 born England,

3 children Arther age 13,Ernest E.,age 11,William age 9,George,age 5,

No husband.

in 1930 Census Isabelle has remarried too Charles Crane,Woonsocket,

Providence Rhode Island,All the children listed as Step Sons.

Some trees have James William Taft as her first husband,but that is not

correct.First husband possibly died,or killed in WW1.???

Yes, Isabelle Taft lines up, she would have been 43 when George was born in 1920. Thanks Wayne.

Now to find who this David is and his DOB and DOD information.
