FRANCES LOUISE KAY (adoptive name: GODSILL)


I am desperatly seeking any information
on Frances Louise Kay (my great-grandmother),
who along with her sister, Margaret, was
adopted at a very young age by a family
named Godsill. Frances was a schoolteacher,
born July 17, 1887 (d. March 1970) in Vt,
and lived in Newport, St. Johnsbury and Derby, VT.
She was Catholic, possibly of Irish ancestry.
Her husband was Walter D. Barnard (1874-1958),
an area blacksmith with his own shop.
I believe they are both buried
in Pine Hill Cemetery, Derby.
Any information would be VERY greatly appreciated.
Barnard family information would be wonderful also!
