Comments: Constantine (Nee: ) | Portland ME United States | | Comments: This is the apparent child of Anastasia Constantine taken circa 1937.
This photo is from the Ethel Wight Studio, Portland, Maine.
The envelope this negative was in says, “Mrs. Anastasia Constantine, 453 Cumberland Ave., Portland, #192.”
The 1938 Portland City Directory lists James and his wife Bessie J., living at 453 Cumberland.
The 1940 US Census lists James Constantine and his wife Bessie A. living at 453 Cumberland Ave. It lists no children.
The 1937 Portland City Directory lists James and his wife, Bessie A., living at 256 Danforth.
Likewise, the 1930 US Census lists James Constantine and his wife, Bessie, living in Portland (256 Danforth St.) with no children.
I am not convinced that Bessie’s middle name was Anastasia. Additionally, I can find no evidence that James and Bessie had any children. That leads me to speculate that James may have had a sister-in-law named Anastasia who was visiting James and provided his address. In any event, determining this child’s identity eludes me.
