Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

SPELLING

Surname: This database uses Baptiste. The 1900 US Census uses the spelling Baptist. [census-us-1900-ps-la-orleans-116-19a]

FOLLOWUP

Henry's parents were both born in Louisiana. [census-us-1900-ps-la-orleans-116-19a]

Henry's middle initial may be S.

A death registry entry exists for "a" Henry Baptiste, born about 1866, died 8 Jan 1893 in Orleans Paris, Louisiana, a native of the same city. This is a clear conflict with the 1900 US Census that shows him as living, married to Elisabeth, with children George, Alexandre, and Ellen. Is this a second person, or is there some other problem? (FamilySearch, collection Louisiana, Orleans Parish Death Records and Certificates, 1835-1954, DGS 7797741, image 245.)

Another conflict for his death year is an 1890 New Orleans City Directory that shows Elizabeth Baptiste as the widow of Henry [Baptiste]. (U.S., City Directories, 1822-1995, Ancestry database, path "Louisiana ⟩ New Orleans ⟩ 1890 ⟩ New Orleans, Louisiana, City Directory, 1890", image 75, page 138, right column)
