Beatrice has been driving me crazy. Her dad and mom apparently divorced when she was less than ten. I can find her dad with his second wife and his second child on the census records for 1910, but no Beatrice. I find Beatrice and her mother on the 1920 and 1930 census, but not for the 1910. I really want to find this as I'm concerned I could have two wives connected to her daddy in error. I need more information to confirm my suspicions her daddy married twice.
It finally hit me. Beatrice's mother would be in her 20s and probably moved back home with her young daughter. Try them under the mother's maiden name. Tada! There they are! This was the only census Beatrice's mother told the truth about her marital status even though she is listed with her maiden name. She lists herself as 'widowed' on the 1920 and 1930 census.
