Notes:

According to the family story, Charlie Ross left the family in 1907, leaving Cora with three small daughters.

I am beginning to suspect that the Charlie F. Ross who married Fannie White might not be the right person.

In 1910, there is a Charles Ross living in Brockton that is the right age and may well be this Charles. He and his wife of three years, Fannie, are living as boarders in the home of Aaron Burnham. This would coincide with his abandonment of his family in 1907. It would mean that either he chose to remarry without getting a divorce or he and Cora were divorced. This needs further research. At the time of the 1910 Census, he was living only a few blocks away from his daughter Rotha, who was separated from the rest of the family.

It appears that sometime around 1907, Charles left the family - his wife and children. By 1910, he was close by living as husband and wife with Fannie White, but they had not yet married. In 1916, they married in Vermont and settled there as if they had never married before.

However, the parents listed on the Charles Ross / Cora Hooper marriage record do not match the ones for the Charles Ross / Fannie White record in Vermont. So far, I cannot find Charles in any record prior to his 1900 census, nor can I find either set of parents

Ross / Hooper set - Henry C Ross and Mary Paulding
Ross / White set - George F Ross and Elizabeth W Baldwin

While the marriage of Cora and Charles took place in Whitman, there are no Whitman records in the Mass. Town & Vital Records Collection.

2020-01-14 - Just because the marriage register for Charles & Cora lists their parents, that does not mean that their parents are still alive. They could already be dead. I do find an Henry A.C. Ross on the pauper roles around 1900. But there is no reason to connect him. Finding an 1880 census record in Boston would really help.

Birth:
The statewide index to births lists a Charles (twin) born in 1879 in Boston, volume 306, page 23. The only other twin born in 1879 in Boston is Martha W, also on the same page of the registry. However, these are the children of Citifore and Mary Ross, a black couple.

Though, I don't necessarily believe a lot else about Charles, on both his WWI and WWII draft cards, he gives his birthday at 18 Mar 1879 and is generally consistent in saying he was born in Boston.

Census:
Charles is a boarder in 1900 and is listed as a driver. Interestingly, he is living at 65 Pleasant St, at the corner of Pleasant and Thayer St. His mother-in-law was Salome Thayer.

Census:
In 1910, Charles is listed as a boarder with Fannie Ross in Brockton. This seem sort of questionable as there are 2 additional marriage records for him in Rhode Island and in Vermont in Nov 1916.

They both claim this as a first marriage. Looks like someone else provided the data. It appears that Charlie divorced Cora and married Fannie.

Moreover, Fannie is really Fannie White and could be related to Fred White (does not appear to be the case).

Census:
This census records that he was 26 at the time of his first marriage. However, he would have been 21 when he and Cora married and 37 when he and Fannie married.

Census:
This records says that Charles only completed 5th grade and that Fannie had 1 year of High School. They rent the house for $35/month. Both work in a shoe factory.

Residence:
Found at the same address in 1945, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1957, 1961

Misc:
I think this is the date when he claimed social security, not when he died. He shows up in city directories until the early 1970s.

Census:
Charles is 71, Fannie is 65, both from Massachusetts. He made $1400 for the year and has not served in the military.

Died:
Mrs. Fannie White Ross is the informant, but she provides no details for his parents at all. But that does indicate that this is the same Charles F. Ross who was in Brockton, Mass in 1910.

Charles married Cora Stetson Hooper on 26 Jan 1901 in Whitman, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, and was divorced on 10 Oct 1910 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Cora (daughter of Walter S. Hooper and Sarah Oldham Peterson) was born on 31 Aug 1879 in South Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; died on 25 Jun 1980 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States; was buried in Whitman, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

Charles married Fannie May White on 11 Nov 1916 in Rockingham, Windham, Vermont, United States. Fannie (daughter of Charles F. White and Adeline R. Phillips) was born on 8 Dec 1884 in Stoughton, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States; died in Mar 1975 in New Hampshire, United States; was buried in Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire, United States.

Notes:

When did Edward Laracy die? When exactly did they marry? Seems the Weymouth marriage records for those dates are not online, nor are the state records.

What about John Shand? When did he come around? There is a John Shand in Quincy, but he left a widow Mary when he died.

Birth:
According to her birth record, Edna's parents where Charles F and Cora S. Hooper Ross. He was a box maker from Boston and she was a native of Whitman.

Census:
Edna is listed as an office girl in a shoe factory in the 1920 Census.

Census:
In the 1940 Census, Edna reports the information and claims to be 32 years old, when in fact she is 38.

Edna married Edward Paul Laracy in 1931 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Edward (son of Martin Laracy and Mary Ann Welch) was born on 15 Nov 1879 in Walpole, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States; died in 1954 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Edna married John Bruce Shand in 1955 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. John (son of Robert Shand and Annie B.) was born on 5 Apr 1904 in Milton, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States; died on 22 Aug 1974 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Notes:

Rotha never married.

As a child, after her father abandoned the family, Rotha went to live with an aunt and uncle.

Census:
Rotha is found in the home of Ancon(?) W. and Clara H. Jenkins and is listed as a niece of the head of the household.

Clara H. Jenkins is Clara Hooper Jenkins, aunt of Cora and great-aunt of Rotha.

Census:
In 1920, Rotha is listed merely as the ward of Ancon W. Jenkins. His wife, Clara is no longer in the home. Remarkably, he has gone from 50 to 40 years old. It seems likely that the age in 1910 was incorrect.

Census:
Rotha is listed as a stenographer in 1930 for an attorney.

Residence:
Rotha returned from Bermuda on 21 Jun 1937 aboard the Queen of Bermuda. She reported that she was 33 years old, born in 1904 in Whitman, Mass.

This is really probably 123 W. 13th St, since that's where the Evangeline Residence was located.

Died:
Some sources hint that her death happened in Hanover, but the Massachusetts Death Index says Braintree.
