Twins, William Quinn III and Helen Quinn, were born on
April 2, 1930. They were not recorded on the 1930 census so I just assumed that
they were born after the date the census was recorded.
Inspection of the census record indicated
that they were born on the exact date that the census was recorded. Now, I can
assume that they were born after the time that the census was recorded. The
time of birth was not recorded on the birth certificate.
The census record states that the Quinn
family lived at 500 West 174th Street while William Quinn's birth certificate
has an address of 500 West 74th Street. Pages of the census records before and
after also show addresses on West 174th Street. The birth certificate address
must be a transcription error.

The above photo is of Susan Quinn and her
twins. The older girl was identified by her sister, Kitty (Kathleen), as Patsy (Patricia) Quinn. The identity of
the younger child is not confirmed. Kitty did not believe that it was her.

| 500 W. 174th Street |

| 512 135th Street |
The location of the photo of Susan holding
the twins is unknown, but doesn't appear to be the address of 500 West 174th
Street. The location looks to be the same as the location the above photo of
the twins taken at about the same time. Susan's clothing is different in both
photos so the two photos were probably not taken on the same day.
I suspect that the photos were taken at a
friend or family members home. By 1932, the family lived at 512 135th Street
which also doesn't resemble the building in the above photos.
