Narrative

Mary Looby's information is that Esther Ambrose was married to Harry Sehc , but there are two records that suggest that she may have been married to Harry J Lehr .

Esther appears inthe 1925 New York state census as Esther Ambrose living with her parents. She must have married some time after the census was taken in 1925.

There is a record of the marriage of Esther L Ambrose to Harry J Lehr in Brookly in 1926.

In the 1930 census there is a record of Harry J Lehr and his wife Elizabeth L who were four years married in 1930. Elizabeth's age in the census is approximately what Esther's would have been, and her birth place (New York) and the birth places of her parents (both from Ireland) match Esther's exactly.

It's possible that the enumerator mistakenly recorded Esther's name as Elizabeth. Also the information that Harry's surname was Sehc may have arisen from an incorrect transcription of Lehr, the names being similar when written by hand.
