Why I believe this to be the individual.
• This photo envelope indicates the photo is of Mary Frances.
• The 1935 Portland City Directory lists John B and Doris E Silke living at 112 Sheridan.
• The 1940 US Census shows John and Doris Silke living at 131 Bolton. With them are three children, Mary F (age 7), Donald H (age 5), and Robert B (age 9/12). The three children were all born in Maine and the family lived in the “Same Place” in 1935.
I am confident this photo is of Mary Frances Silke born 20 May 1932 in Portland, Maine to John B and Doris (Anderson) Silke about 1935, when she was about three years old.
