Two US Census records, 1900 & 1910, places this family in the 12th City District of Warren County, Tennessee.
The family names are:
as stated on the 1900 US Census
William W Holder age 38 {head of household}
Ada age 28 {wife}
Hattie B b. Oct 1891 {daughter}
William E b. Oct 1894 {son}
Ruby L b. July 1898 {daughter}
In this census it states the parents had been married 11 years which calculates to being married in 1899;
and that Ada gave birth to 3 children and all 3 were still living and 3 were mentioned on the census.
as stated on the 1910 US Census
William W Holder age 49 {head of household}
Ada age 38 {wife}
Velma age 17 {daughter - could be Hattie B**}
Ernest age 15 {son - could be William E**}
Ruby age 11 {daughter}
Bertha age 7 {daughter}
Mary J age 5 {daughter}
** The names of Hattie B and Velma do not match in the two censuses, and neither does the birth year. They are about 2-3 years apart. However, if Velma is alive in the 1910 census then why is she not listed in the 1900 census as one of the 3 children? Without actual vital birth records we can only make guesses. One guess is that Hattie V may have been told the census enumerator and he thought it was B and wrote that down. Another guess could be just as William E in 1900 census was called Ernest in the 1910 census the E being Ernest, which will confirm that Hattie B could have been Hattie V for the name Velma as the middle name/initial.
It also records the mother, Ada, as having given birth to 6 children with only 5 still living. This says that one child that is living was not living with them at the time of the census taking and one had passed away, which, when calculated, this child was born and died between 1900-1910 However, since the tombstone for the Infant Daughter has no name for the child, it is my assumption/guess, that the baby died at birth.
The census also states that William and Ada had been married for 20 years by that time. Which, when calculated, would make that marriage about 1889/1890
