Misc. Notes
Listed at age 12 in the 1920 census with her parents, having immigrated in 1908.
Mary is listed in the 1930 census as age 22, born in California, married 1 yr to Antonio Bernardo (23, TX) with daughter Angelina (9 mos, CA). This seems to have many errors, as their surname should be Lopez, Mary was born in Mexico, as was her husband who is likely Bernardo Lopez.
She had another daughter, Louise, later that year before being divorced, with Bernardo going to Texas.
Mary then had a daughter, Petra, with a Mr. Riso in 1938, and it is unknown whether they were married.
She is then listed in the 1950 census as Mary Arroyo (42, CA) wife of Cipriano Arroyo (58, MEX), with daughter Cecile (6, CA) and foster daughter Petra Riso (11, CA).
They were later married (remarried?) on 18 May 1966 in Kings Co, CA.
