This is the information I have so far:
Ruth Isabelle Edwards b.11/28/1894 d. 11/11/1984
married Harry Ross Vincent b.9/30/1894 d.12/1975

Ruth's parents are:
William Edwards and Anna Belle Overocker

1910 Census Records NY Kings Co. Brooklyn
Edwards, William H., Head age 65 2nd marriage
Anna Belle Wife age 50 1st marriage
children
Caroline 20, Ruth I. 18, William J.12

1900 Census NYC Manhattan
Edwards, William H.-Head-age 55 born Nov. 1844
Anna B.-Wife - age 40 born Jan. 1860
children:
Leonard M. 12 Sept 1887
Caroline 10 Jan. 1890
Ruth E. 5 Nov. 1894
William J. 2 Nov. 1897

I have also found a possible family that matches Anna Belle Overocker.

1880 Census Schaghticoke, Rensselaer, NY
Overocker, M.L. Self Age 60
Caroline Wife 58
Mary Ella Daughter 23 (Married)
Wm. J. Son 22 (Single)
A. Belle Daughter 20 (Single)
Jno. K. Son 18 (Single)

Does anyone recognize this family? Does anyone have ANY information about who the family of William H. Edwards is? According to the census he was born Nov. 1844 in NY and his parents were both born in NY.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Beth Vincent
