Hi,

I found Nora in 1880 in the city of Neals Stone, Chickasaw County, Mississippi

Monrow Lyons 33 Born Miss/Father born Miss/Mother born Va
Nora Lyons 20 Born Miss/Father born NC/Mother born Ala
Iry Lyons 7M Born Miss/Father born Miss/Mother born Miss
Bossey Buchanan 8 Miss Ala Ala (it state that his relationship to the Monrow Lyons is 'Nurse'. I dont know what that means)

Ok I looked at why John may not be in any other census. It appears that Henrietta is 8 years old in the 1920 census and Lovida has remarried to Mr. Hill and in 1920 her and Mr. Hill have two children, the oldest being 6. So, since Henrietta was born around 1912 and Lovida was still with her mother and father in 1910 we can assume that her and John was together from 1910 to 1914 or so, because her oldest child with Mr. Hill is 6, it maybe that John died between 1910 and 1914 or may have left the state. And Lovida remarried to Mr. Hill after 1914.

I hope this helps,

Tony
