GREGOIRE: 1920 U.S. Census/Nellie Marries

On the 1920 U.S. Census, Maurice and his sister Nellie were enumerated two times, at two different addresses.

They appear living with Octave on Nott Avenue in Queens, when in fact Maurice was living on Burke Avenue with his wife Lillian and daughter Eleanor, and Nellie was living at 40 Gramercy Park in Manhattan.

A portion of the 1920 U.S. Census showing the Gregoire family, including Maurice
and Nellie, living at 172 Nott Ave., Long Island City, Queens NY, with Octave,

Charlotte, and Margo.

Here is the 1920 U.S. Census showing Maurice, Lillian and Eleanor at 654 Burke Ave. in the Bronx.  The last name was written incorrectly by the enumerator:  "Gregrre."  Just above Maurice, you can see that the Soldati's were living there also, although Victor's last name was recorded as "Gregrre" also.  

The Gregoire's and Soldati's (Victor and family with the wrong last name) on the
the 1920 U.S. Census, living at 654 Burke Ave., in the Bronx.

There must have been a misunderstanding on someone's part.  Octave or Charlotte didn't understand the question, or the enumerator didn't understand the answer.

Nellie Gregoire on the 1920 U.S. Census living at 40 Gramercy Park in Manhattan
working as a "Clerk" in "Cotton Goods."  She is listed as a "Lodger", on Line 24.

Nellie married this year, to Rudolph  Vincent Hirten.  The marriage license was granted on May 27 in New York City.  The information on it shows that Nellie's full name is Helen Marie, and that she was born in "Roux Hubes" Belgium.  I don't know what "Hubes" signifies, and research on-line hasn't revealed anything.
