I believe I have found a match for my grandfather in the census records, but I would like some other opinion.
Everything matches up, except the middle name. On my mother`s birth cert, it says her fathers name is James JOSEPH Cunningham.
This match is James FRANCIS Cunningham.
I would normally rule this match out, but after research, he lived a few doors down (116 Dudley Street, my grandmother lived at 128 Dudley Street, Philadelphia)
from my grandmother in 1930 & 1940. My mom was born in 1941.
So my question is - could this just be a coincidence, or is the birth certificate wrong and his middle name is Francis? Is this him? And let me add that they were never married - it is doubtful he was even AT the birth of my mother.
Thank you!
