• Notes

  It is quite possible that Fred had no middle name as his WWII Draft Registration Card indicates his middle name as "none" and therefore, the "R." currently listed in this record may be incorrect. Interestingly, three Kirby brothers married three Drollinger sisters: Fred Kirby married Mable Drollinger George Kirby married Frances Drollinger Lewis Kirby married Nina Drollinger 1940 United States Federal Census Name: Frad Kirby Respondent: Yes Age: 43 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1897 Gender: Male Race: White Birthplace: Indiana Marital Status: Married Relation to Head of House: Head Home in 1940: Gas City, Grant, Indiana Street: E So "B" Street House Number: 101 1/2 Farm: No Inferred Residence in 1935: Rural, Grant, Indiana Residence in 1935: Rural, Grant, Indiana Sheet Number: 1B Number of Household in Order of Visitation: 14 Household Members: Name Age Frad Kirby 43 Mabel Kirby 38 Evelyn Kirby 14 Eldora Kirby 12 Donald Kirby 2 Ronald Kirby 2 Janet Kirby 9/12 Home in 1930: Wright, Ottawa, Michigan Household Members: Name Age Fred Kirby 33 section foreman RR Mable E Kirby 28 Wilma M Kirby 11 Pauline M Kirby 9 Evelyn L Kirby 4 9/12 Eldora Kirby 1 9/12 John Nelson 52 boarder U.S. World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942 Name: Fred (Middle name: "none" listed) Kirby Birth Date: 9 Aug 1896 Birth Place: Homer, Illinois Residence: 101 So.
