Jessie Garrattson/chas W Garrattson Census Lookup 1920/30 Please

[Omega]

I have a JESSIE A HUNT marring a CHAS W GARRATTSON 1897 in the Genealogical Forum of Oregon's 'Oregon Marriages list'. I am trying to confirm that she is the correct Jessie A Hunt eldest daughter of George and Nellie Hunt of Multnomah Portland Oregon. I was also wondering if some kind soul could check out the 1920 and 1930 census for them please. I don't want to be paying $32.00 US for a certificate I am not sure is the right Jessie A Hunt. That is big bucks in Aussie dollars for the wrong one.

Thank you for any help I can get

Hi Omega

I have been looking at your thread for Obituaries and I have no way of knowing if this is yours or even if Joseph had children but I have just found in the U.S. Public Records Index a Daryl S Garrettson.

His address is in Oregon and his birth date of 1948 fits perfectly with the Daryl in your message.

I wouldn't post the information here but if you want it send me a PM.
