Garnell, b. 1931

It is very interesting. Thanks for sharing! I really like Sophia and Dolores as sisters. I never heard Garnell before, but I like it.
It is quite tragic, that the father died in 1936, the same year his youngest child was born :(
Is Ageeb Buchier his full name (firstname and surname)?
Where does Ageeb come from?
Do you know what the initials (J. Edward / Sophia H. / Dolores J.) could be?
BTW: I have a granny which is born in 1925 (and I am not old, not yet 30)^^

Robert Paul, John Edward, Sophie (some error I guess)
Ageeb Buchier Kelly, but the spelling was probably Ajeeb or Ageeb Bashir / Bashar Khalil because Arabic letters do not translate directly to English as his parents where Lebanese and he was also born there. They are probably among the most interesting of the families, as his son had to work to provide for their family and he died due to being crushed by a car. My great grandfather had to work to provide for his mother and siblings.
I will try to find out the initials from my grandmother as she probably knows. Not sure of the others.

Oh, okay. Now I get it :) I did not think of a transcription from an other language to English. Thank you for the explanation!
Wow, this is really very tragic. They had a very hard time.

Seems like they fit with the era. My grandmother was born in 1936, and her name was Delora; she had a sibling whose name ended with the *nell sound, and her oldest brother was named after their father...and she had a sister-in-law named Sonia.
I sort of like Sophia and Dolores, but only for other people.
Ageeb is interesting. I'd never seen that before.

I think the source of Ageeb is Arabic, as Ageeb was born in Lebanon and was a Arabic speaker originally.
