    • Was Gertrude a Garron or a Bassett? I have found no trace of her birth. Although she appears as the daughter of Frank and Alida in the 1920 census, in the 1930 census, she (or someone) is recorded as Gertrude Garron. Some family stories support the theory that she was taken in by the Bassetts and brought up as their daughter. Checking the birth records for Rhode Island reveals a Gertude Garron born on 11 Jan 1910 to Grace Garron. No father is mentioned, so perhaps Gertrude was illigitimate, or even an orphan?

    The original of this photograph has badly deteriorated and so this photograph has been "digitally contructed" from the heads and shoulders of the originals. The original photo is dated 1931.

    NB: Although recorded as Gertrude Bassett in the 1920 census of Rhode Island, further research identifies her as Gertrude Garron and that she was either adopted or "fostered" by Frank and Alida Bassett. If this is true, then it would explain why, in the 1920 census, she was recorded as Gertrude Bassett but in the 1930 census as Gertrude Garron.
