Family:John Lonesome and Veronica Preston (1)

Evelyn Lonesome's application for a social security account #213-20-7686 gives the names of her parents as: John Lonesome and Veronica Lonesome (unknown). It gives her own name as "Evelyn Marie Lonesome Carter? Coates?", but Lonesome is circled, and it is under Lonesome that her name is listed in the Social Security Death Index. Her 1951 baptismal record (which gives her name as Evelyn Marie Lonesome Gordon, confirms their names: John Lonesome and Veronica Preston.

Since Veronica was living on the grounds of the U.S. Marine Hospital in Baltimore in 1930, and was working as a waitress there, it can perhaps be assumed that John was a Marine. He was probably away at the time, since he is not enumerated with her. She had married ten years before.

They perhaps lived in New York at some point before 1951, since her social security number was issued in New York before 1951.

But where is Evelyn, who would be about 10 at this time? Is she perhaps the Inez Lonesome, listed as daughter of Anthony and Ethel Carter, living in Baltimore in 1930?
