FOLLOWUP

There seem to be multiple spellings of her last name, on documents that should be considered "official." However, my suspicion is that none of them are correct, though her father's surname looks like the best candidate. Unfortunately, none of the sources in this database use that spelling except to identify her father, and that only differs from her father's by a missing 't'.

The 1920 U.S. Census lists Venett[e?] Gilcrest (1 year old) in the 13-person household of her grandfather Victor Vigne, but the record on Ancestry has a comment that the name was incorrect and should have been Guillemet. (It is unclear to me how such a significant mistake could have been made.) (from the 1920 U.S. Census, Louisiana, New Orleans Ward 4, district 66, page 10A.)

In 1940, John and Venita Davis and their daughter Ellen were living with Richard H Jones (50, Texas) and Carnie K. Jones (49, Texas). [census-us-1940-ps-tx-galveston-55-9b]

The Davis family may have moved to Bremerton, Washington while Ellen was still a child, where she may have attended West Hgh School and sang in the choir. She appears to have been a Junior in the 1957 yearbook. The 1958 yearbook notes she was also in the tumbling group.

John and Venida may have formally married on 23 Jun 1976 in Pierce, Washington.

The funeral notice for Vernida includes names of children that are not currently in this database, or are using different names. These are {private} Davis of Seattle, WA; {private} Oni-Robertson of Seattle, WA, and {private} Davis-Gibson of Port Orchard, WA. It doesn't mention {private} Davis; did she die before 1987, like her sister Ellen? [periodical-funeral-notice-vernida-davis-1987]
