Talk:Barbara Bovard
Née Cleek (1925–1991)?[edit]
Possibly née Barbara Jean Cleek (b. 13 Aug 1925, St Clair Shores MI; d. 19 May 1991, Madera Co. CA); in the 1940 census Cleek was at 1011 Rosemont Ave in LA, 14 years old and living with her married older sister. (So if this was her, she might have been 17 when she took that wartime job in DC.) In the 1950 census Barbara Bovard was 24, separated from her husband and raising her 2-year-old son Kenneth in a Burbank apartment. In 1964, SSA listed her with the last name Broyles, and in 1965 she married Robert Llanos Chavez, a name she kept until her passing.
The Social Security Applications and Claims Index links all of these names and dates; the only question in my mind is whether this Barbara Bovard, who was living in LA in 1940 and also in 1950, is the 1940s LA fan Barbara Bovard. I hesitate to make this identification, since it entails that she would likely have been married by age 15 when she contributed to Snide #2 as Barbara Bovard, as mentioned in Censored #1 (June 1941). But I won't block consensus. Bee Ostrowsky (talk) 07:59, 22 September 2022 (PDT)
