according to 1920 census - this states that his name is T. Joseph Nolan and that he was 12 years old // sister's name is Jean(nie) Meehan?
I think I am on the wrong track with Joe's family, he is on the1920 CT census as an adopted son to William and Mary Bigley but I also found a NY census with a Joseph Meehan around the same time.
(per Buz McKim) I remember meeting Joe Nolan a few times when I was a kid. He always seemed rumpled and kind of sad. His car was always stacked with old newspapers and magazines. Weird? Daisy never had much good to say about him (go figure). It seemed a lot of the family never really warned up to him. I never knew any details of how he came to be. That was my impression.
Spoke with Veronica (Vera) Nolan/Awad in Oct 2017. Vera said she had heard that Joe's parents were killed in a car accident.
