• Notes

  The marriage record states that the Lillian who married James P O'Reilly was the daughter of George Croutear and Alice Smith, and gives her age as 18 and her place of birth as Woonsocket. Nevertheless, by the time of the 1920 census, Lillian is living with her parents, listed as single, and still using the surname Croutear. And in 1925 the marriage was announced of Miss Lillian Croutear to Dr Harry Wilkinson in Los Gatos, California. Although Lillian's age is not quite right the Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Commission records the grave of Ann Wilkinson née Croutear, wife of Harry Wilkinson, and daughter of George and Alice (Smith) Croutear, so it must be the same woman, unless she had an otherwise unrecorded sister with a very similar name.
