This negative envelope says, “Mrs. Avery Hughes, 49 Mayo St #699, #700.”
This set of films includes a woman with two children, a boy about six, and a girl around 4. There is one additional image of the younger child.
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1934 Portland City Directory indicates that Josephine E Melaugh married Avery E Hughes during the previous year.
• The 1935 Portland City Directory lists Mrs. Josephine E Hughes living at 49 Mayo.
• The 1939 Portland City Directory lists Mrs. Josephine Hughes living at 39 Cotton.
• The 1940 Census lists Avery Hughes and his sister, Dorothy Hughes living with their stepfather, Carl Belyea; Dorothy is 6.
• Ancestry Family Trees indicate that Dorothy Jane Hughes was born 7 January 1934 to Avery Ellis and Josephine (Ely) Hughes. Josephine’s parents were John & Cora Melaugh.
I am confident this is a photo of Dorothy about 1936.
