Seeking information about Vernon Jodoin was born on Jul 12, 1927 and died on Aug 01, 1982. This Vernon should not be confused with the Vernon b. 1919 who also lived in Rochester for a time, although, I think that they could have been 1st cousins.
The father of the Vernon b. 1919 was Felix Jodoin. Felix had a sister Edna Jodoin, never known to have married/had children.
Edna is in the 1930 federal census for Rochester, NY as a lodger. She is with a 2 yr 9 mo. old boy named Vernon, also coded as a lodger, so the relationship between the two is not clarified. The Vernon b. July 12, 1927 was 2 yrs and 9 mos. before the 1930 census date, so he fits the age and location.
Edna's nephew Vernon (the one born abt. 1919) was about 10 or 11 at the time, so it seems unlikely that it could be him with the wrong age noted. There are such mistakes on censuses, but a boy who about 10 or 11 would not have the number of months of his age note. Because months were included, the Vernon in this census with Edna seems to actually be 2 yrs and 9 mos.
The Social Security Death Index includes a Vernon Jodoin who born 1927 and died 1982 in Rochester, NY.
Did Edna have a child out of wedlock that she named Vernon? What happened to him? To Edna? Edna is in the 1940 census for Rochester and she is her only household member in a large lodging building. I could not find Vernon. b. 1927 in the 1940 census.
