Birth Record For Helen Daley |
Helen was bornto John Daley and Ellen Tully 23 August 1909. Like all of John and Ellen’s children, she was born in Boston, Ma. In the US Census I find Helen living with her borth family in Dorchester until 1930. Although I do not have the record, I know she married a man named Charles J. Stravin (1909 – 1982) sometime between 1930 and 1935. In 1937 I find this couple living in Boston in the US City Directories. Together the couple had at least one son named Charles J. Stravin Jr, who was born 6 September 1941.
I have been told that Charles Stravin Sr. owned and operated the L Street Tavern in South Boston, which has been made more well known by the movie Good Will Hunting. Charles Stravin the younger operated L Street Liquors. This was easily verified using the Boston City Directory for 1969. These men emplyed my grandfather, Peter Francis Daley Sr, at both locations.

Thanks for checking out the blog and thank you for the welcome.
DeleteI just found your blog this morning, thanks to GeneaBloggers. Of course, once I got here and started reading, I was immediately arrested by the sighting of the surname TULLY. Well, I was hoping...especially with the name DALEY in the mix...but yours is Boston and mine is Chicago. Oh, well...perhaps in the greater scheme of things we will one day connect!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you as you continue blogging your research findings.
