  Notes	Something looks off about circumstances in which James & Laura were married. James has married Lillie Lester in 1896, when both were 21. They are shown as still living together married in 1920 census in Mt. Vernon NY. But in 1930 census, James gives his age when first married as what appears to be 52, which coincides with his 2nd marriage to Laura. When Lillie dies in 1947, she is noted to be widow of James Rawling, though he did not actually die until 1950. It’s not clear whether James divorced Lillie before marrying Laura. It’s also not clear how long marriage to Laura lasted, as she was not living with him by the 1940 census, and her death/obituary have her as Laura Trapnell, with no mention of marriage to James. From Chatham Press, Jan 9 1927: RAWLING-James Rawling-Laura Trapnell-Marriage-1926-NY Announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Laura Trapnell of 18 North Hillside Avenue and James Rawling of Massachusetts on December 26, 1926 at New York. Rev H Pierson performed the ceremony. [5, 14, 15, 16, 17]
