In Response To: Descendents of James Henry Chate 1880-1964 (Tony Betteridge)

1930 census shows daughter no longer with them. According to the 1925 census, her name was Elsie A, born about 1909-1910 in England. James was Henry on the 1930 census.

I'm guessing your info came from an obit. If so, try checking for probate records at the county clerk's office where he died. It should give a location for the daughter, and maybe the grandchildren's names.

Found a possible match in Social Security Death Index

Name: Harry Gaiser
SSN: 479-42-5959
Last Residence: 50401 Mason City, Cerro Gordo, Iowa, United States of America
Born: 31 Aug 1905

1930 census has this couple in Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, married within one year. Elsie A was age 20, came to US in 1912. They are indexed as Gagser by Ancestry.com.

So you could contact the Recorder's office there for children born after the 1930 census.

I would suggest trying to contact the Harold L Gaiser, born 1935 listed as living in Mason City. I'll bet he's their child.
