Searching for information on Mary J (Marie) Cooknell, born 19/7/1917 in Richmond, New York City. In 1920 United States Federal Census as living in Essex, New Jersey with her parents, Ernst & Hanna, but using the Surname of "Cookgab".
In the 1930 census she appears to be living with Daniel & Marie Sullivan and is listed as their niece.
Her Father Ernest Elijah Cooknell is my Great Uncle and I am compiling the Family tree.
