___
According to the 1910 Census, Arcule was married to Minnie, but we havea marriage for him that indicates otherwise. Perhaps the Census taker was somewhat familiar with the family but a little in error as to Arcule's wife's name. If this wife is really Rose, then it makes sense that she reportedly had never borne any children, as Mary and Arthur belonged to Minnie. It also agrees with Arcule's marriage to Rose, as they hadbeen married 9 years, which is within a year of their 1899 marriage date.
In the 1920 Census, Arcule and son Arthur were listed as Arthur AURBURNSr and Jr, but indexed as AMBOUR.
___
Note added 29 Jan 2012: After thinking that Arcule and Minnie had only Mary and Arthur, we have found another child, Harriet, who died as a small child and was buried in a plot near which her sister,Mary, and her father's second wife, Rose, were later buried.
