Willey Joseph Boudreaux was born 18 Oct 1866  and died 10 Nov 1947. He was the son of Numa Williamson Boudreaux (22 Sep 1840-10 Sep 1934) and Zeolide Thibodeaux (b. 1842). He married Emma Champagne (b. 1873) on 5 Jan 1889. (names shown on Social Security Application & Claims Index, 1936-2007)

The 1880 Census lists Willey living with his parents Numa (38), Zeloide (38), Willy (12), Leticia (11), Eva (10), Numa (9), Ema -married a Dorsey, 20 Aug 1873 - 26 Dec 1969, Galveston, TX (8), Mirtile (7) and Mirtillian (5). His father, Numa, lists his occupation as blacksmith.

* I have a question about Zeolide's maiden name, I'm not sure it is Thibodeaux. There are references to a Zeolide Blanchard marrying a Numa Boudreaux.  On Emma's death certificate, she lists her mother's maiden name as Zona Blanchard.
