Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Chauffeur
• Occupation: Lineman
• Occupation: Mechanic
• Occupation: Traffic manager, paper company
• Research Notes: I originally recorded a single wife for John (Mary Dunlop), with whom he had all five children. However, Thomas Whalen’s birth certificate lists his mother’s maiden name as “Gurley,” not “Dunlop.” Also, Thomas and William were born before John’s marriage to Mary Dunlop. John’s WWI draft card indicates that he was already married as of 1917, which would indicate an earlier marriage. Finally, I found a marriage in Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts in 1909 between John Anthony Whalen and Harriett L. Gurley. I now believe Harriett is the mother of William (William’s birth register entry gives his mother’s name as “Mary H L Girlie”), but also possibly Thomas. I have since found a record for a subsequent marriage between Harriett and Israel Marion which indicates that Harriett had been divorced. This is reflected on John Whalen’s marriage certificate to Mary Dunlop. At the time of the 1920 census, there was another Whalen family living at the same address as John and Mary. Annie, aged 58, was widowed and worked as a cook at the State House. Florence Black (listed as “partner”), aged 46 and single. Both were born in Canada.
