  • Notes 
    • Although he marries Isa McCARTHY in Dec 1937, it is possible that he is the father of Dorothy; but since Loretta no [known] children between the birth of Freda LAWLOR in 1932 and Dorothy's birth in 1937, this seems unlikely. And since Dorothy is not mentioned as a sister in the obit for Doris (Leslie) BAKER, it also seems unlikely that she is the daughter of William and Stacia (JOSEY) LESLIE. This leaves Dorothy's birth as the daughter of Loretta and an unknown [at least to me] father as what would seem [to me] to be the most likely possibility.
