Person:Esther Jackson (11)

Esther's find-a-grave memorial page says she was born 8 Nov 1896 but she was not listed on the 1900 census enumeration and other children were born in that 1896 year range. But later research has turned up her death certificate which also has her birth date as 8 Nov 1896 in Gayoso, Pemiscot Co., Missouri. Her parents are listed as Riley and Nannie Baily Jackson. The informant on her d/c was Will Jackson, who lived in Hayti, Pemiscot Co., Missouri. The fact that Esther is not found on the 1900 census makes me wonder if perhaps she was called Nannie.

Esther would have been only 14 years old in 1910 but is NOT living with her widowed mother in the following census. 1910 Census 0143, Butler, Pemiscot Co., Missouri Bush, B. Y.

So where were the younger children, Nannie and Dollie and perhaps Esther in 1910?
