Aaron Ernest WEEKLEY

Male 1892 - 1988  (96 years)

Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Aaron Ernest WEEKLEY  [1] 
    Born 4 Sep 1892  West Union, Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3, 4] 
    • The birth date on his headstone is Mar 3 1890, but his birth date is given in the 1900 Census as Apr 1892, age 8. However, this is in conflict with the birth record in Doddridge County for an unnamed male Weekly, son of Noah Weekly & Hannah Fry, born on Sep 4 1892. Further confusing matters is a delayed birth record, filed by uncle James Frey in Aug 1941, for Ernest Weekley, born in West Union on Mar 3 1900, son of Noah Weekley and Hannah Frey. The same 1900 birth date/place was reported by him in Feb 1942 in his WW II draft registration. However, Social Security records of Ernest Weekley, death date Dec 10 1988 matching his headstone date, shows his birth date as Sep 4 1892, which matches the birth record of the unnamed son of Noah and Hannah. These appear to be the correct dates for him.
