I have had a photograph of Gertie Munroe nee Parish on my website for over 9 years.
The picture was given by a family member who hoped I would be able to find out more.
TODAY this is what I find, finally..

Franklin and Gertie were found on the 1930 Federal Census of District 608,
Baltimore Independent City, Maryland. This census was eunumerated on April 3, 1930.
It shows the address of 3822 Barrington Road.
The family consists of Franklin F. Munroe, father, head of house and owner
of home, age 60, was an Insurance superintendent. He was born in Maryland as
were both of his parents. His wife, Gertrude, age 54, was born in Maryland.
Only one child, Margurite age 12, is listed.
Gertrude's sister, Bertie Parrish age 50, health nurse
and mother Sarah Parrish age 86, widow are also listed.
