I'm trying to find the parents of Olive Mae Throckmorton, born 1911 in PA (according to census records) died 1970 in Allegheny County, Pa. She married Andrew Kruppa and they had two daughters, Dorothy b. 1929 and Helen b. 1931. They lived most of their lives in Coraopolis, Allegheny, Pa. I have all the census data from 1930 and 1940 but I've searched and searched and can find no record of her in the 1920 census. Any help would be appreciated! Lynn

I wondered, going by the wording of Rose's obituary and I think she must have been married to a Chambers first. Thank you for this, it will help unravel the family. I have found Rose's death certificate and it lists her husband as Auttie Throckmorton. I still cannot find any of them in the 1920 census so I'm not sure if Mary Lockerbie and Clara Barnett are Throckmortons or Chambers. Thanks again!

In the searching I saw the 1978 obituary of Mary Lockerbie's husband, Bernard, and Mary has herself in the obit as a Throckmorton not Chambers. You will find her in Coraopolis in the 1940 census with her husband and she is listed as 20 years old.

In case you don't have it already, attached is the 1959 obit of Olive's husband, Andrew Kruppa.
